Ecora Software Releases Auditor Professional 4.1

Available immediately, Ecora Auditor Professional 4.1™ now includes:

        -- A Web-based Enterprise Reporting Center that allows Ecora

           customers to gain greater visibility into their IT

           environment. Previously, security, compliance, or other

           managers required a centralized console with proper access

           to run reports. Now, anyone with administrative privileges

           can view and/or generate reports anywhere they want, at any

           time, providing far greater visibility into the current

           state of the enterprise.



           When combined with the Ecora's Executive Dashboard(TM), a

           tool that turns the collection of complex IT information

           into easy-to-understand, red and green pie charts, both

           technical and non-technical personnel now have a variety of

           ways to view their current state of compliance to internal

           and external policies and standards, greatly reducing the

           mean time to resolving problems.



        -- Auditor Pro's new Who Made The Change capability also adds

           to enterprise configuration visibility by taking the

           guesswork out of change management. Now, IT managers can

           not only identify what changes were made, but identify who

           is responsible for making the change. Customers can go

           directly to the source to understand what authorized change

           might have created unintended consequences, or identify who

           inadvertently or intentionally is making unauthorized

           changes in the infrastructure.

“The latest enhancements to Auditor Pro will improve my ability to monitor key system configurations and deliver specific environment data to relevant users,” said Karsten Abata, Manager, Security Administration, Federal Home Loan Bank in Chicago. “A sizable percentage of security breaches stem from weak, or improper, system configurations; Ecora helps me identify such issues before they become larger problems.”

According to Gartner Group, 80 percent of unplanned downtime is caused by people and process issues, resulting in unstable configuration changes.

“Our latest edition offers complete visibility from wherever they are and gives customers the ability to further reduce unplanned downtime caused by unstable configuration changes,” said Joe Fiorentino, president and CEO of Ecora. “You can quickly discover what changed in your infrastructure and who made them – without having to task IT staff for days to try and discover “What Changed?” and “Who Made the Change?”
