Take Control of Configuration Compliance
IT
departments face a variety of configuration challenges - securing PCs
to comply with regulatory measures, configuring PCs to meet corporate
desktop standards, and implementing PC power management to cut energy
costs and support sustainability initiatives to name a few. Policy
Commander delivers the flexibility and automated Windows configuration
management technologies IT departments need to meet their configuration
compliance challenges.
Automated Enforcement
Policy Commander is powered by innovative configuration management
technologies like SmartUpdate and PwrSmart that automatically monitor
and enforce PC configuration policies. We deliver comprehensive
libraries of customizable policies to fit the unique configuration and
compliance requirements of your organization. Policy Commander deploys
PC policies with pinpoint accuracy - in a fraction of the time it takes
to configure systems manually.
Instant Insight
Policy Commander actively monitors Windows computers to deliver
real-time insight into their configuration states. With its
administrative dashboard, you can get an instant snapshot of the
current state of configuration compliance for all of your managed
systems. You can even have Policy Commander notify an administrator the
moment a system becomes non-compliant. And Policy Commander delivers
the detailed reports like compliance history and audit trails needed to
satisfy management and auditors alike.
Comprehensive Content
Policy Commander delivers a growing knowledge base of dynamic policies
developed by New Boundary Technologies based on policy templates from
Microsoft and organizations like NIST, NSA, and EPA. Our policy
knowledge base delivers the configuration policies you need for a
variety of jobs - standardizing desktops, meeting the IT security
requirements of regulations like HIPAA, GLBA, and PCI, and proactively
managing PC power consumption. Use the policies as they are, or use the
integrated Policy Editor to create your own policies and customize
existing ones.
Complete Compliance
Policy Commander actively monitors managed systems to ensure compliance
with their assigned policies. And if a computer drifts out of
compliance, Policy Commander can automatically reconfigure the system
to its approved state. With Policy Commander, you can create a
set-and-forget, self-maintaining configuration compliance environment.
Policy Commander is the proactive configuration management solution for today's and tomorrow's dynamic compliance environments.
