uSwitch.com Implements Tripwire

(June 04, 2008)-- uSwitch.com, the independent price comparison and switching service, has implemented configuration assessment & change auditing software solutions from Tripwire. The solutions are part of the online and telephone based company's ongoing drive to ensure regulatory, security and operational compliance across its IT infrastructure and to remain compliant with the latest Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) accounting standards.

Wayne Knight, Head of IT Operations at uSwitch.com, comments, "The main driver for the adoption and implementation of Tripwire Enterprise was to manage infrastructure change and to ensure our entire system remains SOX compliant. Working with Tripwire will allow us to maintain the integrity of our entire IT infrastructure stack, by easily monitoring, detecting and reconciling all changes that are taking place."

Knight continues, "uSwitch.com takes data protection and compliance with SOX standards very seriously. We chose Tripwire as it allows us to spot and respond to issues far more quickly, thereby improving data protection and satisfying file integrity monitoring and change control requirements."

Knight continues, "Many best practice standards and policies can be effortlessly downloaded from the Tripwire website. The Tripwire software is then able to quickly and easily monitor our system configurations against these standards and flag any weak points which we are then able to remedy. Ultimately this is about freeing up time to concentrate on running our business, safe in the knowledge that we are adhering to best practice procedures and compliance standards."
