How
does this tool work?
The software
works by reviewing copies of key files from your system.
You supply the files to the PC and so you control what is happening
on your system. AZScan reviews the files on a standalone PC, writes
reports and you choose which findings and recommendations to act
upon.
Does
any software run on the system being tested?
No. AZScan is
completely non-intrusive. There are no executables to be installed on
your systems and so nothing that can slow performance or
damage the system. The systems you are reviewing can even be in
another country.
How
many different operating systems can be reviewed?
The three categories
of OS are Unix, OS400 and VMS but within these there are over 100
variations and releases which can be handled by AZScan. Currently
the variations include:
- Unix 118 - Linux, Solaris, AIX and many more
- OS400 15
- VMS 20
As new versions are released, we update the software to take account
of the new security settings that are introduced.
And
how many tests does it perform?
- AZScan does 73 Unix tests
- AZScan does 53 OS400 tests
- AZScan does 93 VMS tests
These figures are increasing all the time.
I
only have Unix systems and don't need all the iSeries and VMS parts.
Don't worry.
This is an integrated package and you don't need to even look at
the other parts of the software.
What
advantages does AZScan have over other products?
It has several
advantages:
- Your reviews
are consistent and you produce high quality reports.
- It is cheap to
purchase and run - there is no massive outlay
- We do not charge
more if you review 1 system or 1000.
- It does not interfere
with your systems (it cant!)
- Your data is
kept secure with you - you don't send it out of the company.
- It is easy to
use - it runs on a standard PC and is fully portable
