DataStream and CobiT
Control Objectives for Information and related Technology (CobiT) is a best practices guide developed by the IT Governance Institute in 1996 to help relate business risks, control needs and technical issues. The framework has been adopted globally by leading companies, financial institutions, and even entire governments.
Experts in the governance community, including auditors from leading accounting firms and the IT management at organizations they audit are looking to CobiT as a consistent approach to complying with the requirements of Sarbanes-Oxley. This document provides an understanding of how DataStream can help companies achieve and enforce CobiT compliance.

DataStream and HIPAA - Creating an Enterprise-wide Audit Trail Log
HIPAA was introduced originally in 1996 as a means to improve the effective delivery of the Medicare program by reducing waste and fraud, assuring continuance of healthcare service to all people, while at the same time protecting the individuals’ right to privacy. The new challenge is collecting user activity logs and security event notifications from all critical IT systems and devices across a distributed environment.
This is nothing new to DataStream. We’ve been doing it for years. That is why so many healthcare providers have chosen DataStream technology to both manage their mission critical systems and to create a proactive and comprehensive security audit trail and event notification system.

With Sarbanes-Oxley, real-time notification vs. archived log files can be the difference between proactive event handing and evidence for forensic investigation.

Remote Console Management – Completing the total system and network management strategy
Over time information systems have evolved and changed as technology has advanced. With these changes complexity has been introduced which was never imagined when computing systems were first introduced. Originally, users interfaced with programs by entering instructions using a command line interface through the system’s console. In order to simplify the operation of computing systems, graphical user interfaces were introduced making applications usable by even the most novice users. The GUI helped put more power into the hands of users and heralded the era of “client-server” computing.
