Demand for data privacy and protection audits is skyrocketing, fueled by government and industry mandates that range from Sarbanes-Oxley, California SB1386, and the PCI Standard for merchants and banks, to NERC CIP for utilities. Organizations, large and small, face the unprecedented burden of storing all IT system logs: real-time and historical evidence of access; activity and configuration changes for applications, servers and network devices. In order to meet compliance guidelines, they must also grapple with the fragmented and time-consuming process of mapping network activity to audit reporting.

Smart organizations turn to BT.
