Change Windows

In the Compliance section, you can create a change window for any device within your environment so that you can be sure the correct rules are in place to follow your company's compliance guidelines. The Change Window allows you to detect, report, and alert on changes that are made outside of a defined time period.

This feature fits into our overall compliance strategy. Today we have several tools available to help determine what changes were made and that they match the compliance guidelines. The Change Window feature will add to that by also allowing the ability to determine when changes were made, as it relates to compliance guidelines.

You'll be able to set a change control window for any of the devices in your environment. That includes management stations, firewalls and any other devices that changes are made on. You'll also be able to change or update the change control window whenever your internal compliance policies change.
