BOUNCER Key Features: Configuration Enforcement

More than ever, IT and security professionals are looking to establish common desktop and server configurations and enforce them. Fighting configuration drift is not only an important business objective, but it is often a regulatory requirement. BOUNCER goes beyond simply alerting on configuration drift to actually enforcing endpoint configurations.

Set and Enforce Configurations
One of the key elements of configuration management is keeping installed applications at a common approved version. This is a key element of establishing and enforcing a security policy and also directly impacts the operational efficiency of your IT staff. CoreTrace's BOUNCER product goes beyond monitoring your endpoints and alerting on configuration drift events. BOUNCER provides configuration enforcement allowing you to decide and control when applications are upgraded or added to any given endpoint. If you establish a policy requiring a given version of an application you can rest assured that this will be enforced across your environment.

BOUNCER can help you:
- Define approved versions of your applications for both your user endpoints and servers.
- Enforce established configurations and prevent application changes.
- Provide intelligence about your applications, including prevalence and usage, that can assist in help desk calls and licensing decisions/audits.
- Test and approve updates to your applications that can then be easily rolled out to your endpoints.
- Alert on attempts to install or update applications.
