With every dollar counting these days, we are often asked how to maximize IT performance. Aside from an extensive evaluation of your IT processes, there are certain IT controls that we recommend be implemented to get the maximum benefit from your IT investment. One invaluable control tool is an active monitoring system for unauthorized changes that clearly communicates the consequences of making a change without permission. This function can often be the difference between a high-performing organization and one that lacks effectiveness. Deleting key data files, downloading damaging applications from the internet, transferring suspicious files - all of these can wreak havoc on your organization’s IT functions.

In fact, monitoring for changes within your system will help identify problems when your system isn’t functioning properly or experiences a crash. The first question is: What changed? Without careful monitoring, it takes more time to identify and repair your system, causing costly downtime.
