StatePointPlus

The StatePointPlus® Enterprise Integrity Controller provides the first fully integrated capability to manage the integrity of enterprise computer systems to drive business risk lower and business margins higher.

The StatePointPlus Software suite is a BCC patented technology for intelligent Enterprise Baseline Management (EBM) of enterprise computer systems. Though it is the most powerful and comprehensive EBM tool on the market today, it is uniquely light on resource consumption. It has a highly efficient data collection and expert system that sorts through hundreds of thousands of configuration attributes on each enterprise computer and empowers administrators to quickly identify problems while enabling them to respond to and enforce configuration baseline states.

StatePointPlus technology is architected to remain invisible to users on the network and on the host systems it is managing even in the midst of it data gathering and analyzing processes. It is an agent-based architecture that is robust enough to continue operation when fully separated from communication with the console or from any network at all. Because it is agent-based, StatePointPlus affords the broadest range of control and response to remote systems from the console. A unique multi-platform product, it enables system and security administrators to proactively control to a specified baseline or state, the integrity of every software object in every server and desktop computer in the enterprise network from a central location.

StatePointPlus is used in BCC baseline control services to provide a distributed expert system capability with coupled common control planes that can execute custom designed, layered control strategies for enterprise IT operations.

From a management perspective, the BCC StatePointPlus Software Suite provides an organization with capabilities such as:

• manageability of configuration deviations that have mission impact
• accurate knowledge of the current IT environment
• actual progress of on-going IT initiatives
• a reference against which continuous improvement can be defined
• a benchmark of configuration dynamics over time across the enterprise to help chart future baseline management strategies.

From a technical perspective this technology includes the capability to:

• provide a deep dive view of system configurations across the enterprise
• establish “baselines” against which the systems are constantly checked and controlled
• detect critical changes to files, registries, processes, and services, while at the same time revealing how many times that critical change happened across the enterprise
• gather real-time diagnostic information from systems en masse
• recover from unwanted critical changes and provide administrators with the details on when, how and what changes were made.
