Information reliability, integrity and security are of high priority for every organization that relies on a network to manage its information and communication processes. To meet this growing demand, SignaCert has introduced Enterprise Trust Services.

 

This latest service and appliance from SignaCert is positioned as the only integrative verification tool that proves enterprise systems and endpoints are deployed and configured as intended over their lifetime.

 

The SignaCert Enterprise Trust Service enables enterprises to measure and verify the integrity of software across information technology (IT) systems, to guarantee greater reliability, manageability, security, and compliance.

 

SignaCert helps enterprises measure, validate, and maintain their technology infrastructure by using a new proactive approach that checks the operating system, applications, platforms and other software against a known trusted reference instead of the traditional approach that seeks simply to keep out unwanted software.

 

By using the SignaCert approach, the company can deliver true 100 percent enterprise-wide integrity verification by creating a trusted reference that combines the SignaCert Global Trust Repository with an organization’s in-house deployed software and associated configurations.

 

“The industry is recognizing the need for a new approach to IT security and systems management,” said Wyatt Starnes, founder and CEO of SignaCert, in a statement on Wednesday. “Using a trusted reference to verify the integrity of their enterprise is a powerful new method.”

 

“System failures are often the result of change, either through corruption, malicious code, or unintended configuration changes,” contributed John Pescatore, VP Gartner (News - Alert) Inc. “To secure servers and PCs, enterprises need vulnerability management approaches that assure that only trusted, valid software is running on their systems.”

 

Many of the IT business challenges that SignaCert Enterprise Trust Service is meant to address are done so with features that include:

 

Gold image verification — proactively defines OS, applications and configurations for the multi-platform systems while continually validating their state against a trusted reference.

Endpoint integrity — provides greater control and reliability by ensuring the current state of the system is known.

Regulatory compliance — designed to deliver fine-grained verification of the enterprise and prove it is deployed as intended.

 

SignaCert also offers a Global trust Repository that contains a broad range of authentic signatures — or short-hand definite software component identifiers — from the industry’s leading Independent Software Vendors (ISVs). The company consistently works with IT technology vendors to ensure the broadest supply of important common software signatures.

 

Business continuity is of great importance for countless organizations as they rely on software supported applications to help drive revenues. Without proper measures in place to ensure the security, integrity and validity of systems and applications, the enterprise and its partners are put at risk.

 

As such, there is a great demand for solutions such as those offered by SignaCert. The key to its long-term appeal and success with be continuously working with ISVs to keep its Global Trust Repository completely and consistently up-to-date.
