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."

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."
