Secure & Role Based Network Management

Make sure only authorized people can manage controlled assets on your IT network with WhatsUp Gold

Is your network managed securely?
Protection of data and privacy is of considerable concern to organizations as a result of legislative initiatives, such as HIPAA and SOX, as well as corporate directives.  Most organizations that have implemented security measures have to prove their enforcement to audit and compliance oversight groups.  As a result, network managers must not only enforce security, but prove that their tools do not introduce security risks to their executive management.  WhatsUp Gold gives you the tools to securely manage your IT network and also provides the proof that you're enforcing your protection policies properly.

WhatsUp Gold also gives you complete control over what authorized users can and cannot do.  Via role-based network management, you can set access rights so that your server team can only manage servers, your network infrastructure team has rights to networking gear, your senior management has access to pertinent reports, and as network manager you can oversee everything.

Secure & Role-based Network Management

Air-tight security

• Secure SSL web console access with 128bit AES encryption
• Built-in self-signed certificates
• SNMP based security with 128-Bit AES encryption
• Trusted certificates from: Verisign, Thawt and others

In addition to management console security for the entire WhatsUp product family, WhatsUp Gold Distributed Edition implements SSL or SSL\VPN based security for all communication between your central site and each remote site being monitored, even across public networks.  This way you can be sure that data and access is fully protected.

Configurable role based management
