Tripwire has added a lot of new features to version 7. The Configuration Assessment feature proactively assesses configuration settings and correlates them against internal or external policies. This assessment analyzes the state of your data center, correlating it against industry benchmarks and best practices or internal policies and standards. These out-of-the-box templates include mappings for PCI and Center for Internet Security (CIS) assessments, which are useful for all organizations.
Tripwire also integrates with leading CMDBs, including BMC Atrium, CA's CMDB, and HP's Universal CMDB, and supports CA Service Desk and the BMC Remedy AR System. Also added is support for virtualization, as Tripwire Enterprise 7 can run in VMware ESX partitions. Additional new features include more out-of-the-box reporting and coverage of multiple Linux platforms.
