Security management vendor eIQnetworks last week announced an upgraded version of its security management software that includes more tools to help customers deal with regulatory audits. Network Security Analyzer 4.2 includes log collection mechanisms, monitoring and reporting features, and analysis tools that could help pinpoint the source of a compliance issue. NSA 4.2 also includes pre-formatted reports for regulatory standards such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, Sarbanes-Oxley, Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and Federal Information Security Management Act. The software, which runs on Windows servers, uses syslog collection techniques and APIs to build links into systems and gather data across security and network devices. The product also includes compliance reports custom-designed to meet multiple regulatory auditor requirements. Log data can be stored in any type of storage device, the company says. NSA 4.2 is priced from $900 per device.
