As users wrestle with regulatory compliance, a number of vendors are touting a software technology called Security Information Management (SIM) to meet the ongoing demands of Sarbanes-Oxley, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), and other rules.
Startup netForensics Inc., for instance, has overhauled its flagship nFX Open Security product, making it a typical SIM offering. nFX draws data from a range of devices, such as servers, firewalls, and intrusion-and-detection systems. This includes information on who has accessed the devices as well as other authorization data (see netForensics Manages Security Info).
