Tripwire(tm) Integrity Assurance solutions ensure the security and availability of servers and network devices, while enabling increased efficiencies and control over IT infrastructure across enterprises and government agencies worldwide. The software establishes a baseline of data in its desired state, detects and reports any changes to the baseline, enabling rapid discovery and recovery when an undesired change occurs. Tripwire identifies change, whether accidental or malicious, from outside or within, and is the only way to know for certain that your data is safe and remains uncompromised. Tripwire establishes the foundation for data security and ensures a safe, productive, stable IT environment. Tripwire software is one of the most widely deployed and trusted integrity assurance solutions in the world. Dr. Eugene Spafford and Gene Kim created the initial release of Tripwire software in 1992 at Purdue University. That academic source release received widespread support and quickly became an essential part of best practices for corporate, education, and government security professionals. Since 1992, more than 1 million copies of Tripwire have been downloaded and over a 1/4 million are in active use. Based in Portland, Oregon, Tripwire was founded by Gene Kim and W. Wyatt Starnes. A fast-growing, global technology company, Tripwire has been named to The Oregon Technology Fast 50 list and currently has operations in 15 countries around the world. Directions can be found on the Tripwire website. http://www.tripwire.com/company/contacts/directions.cfm About PASA PASA is an informal support group for Portland Area Systems Administrators. We currently have members from the East and West Side, Vancouver, and Portland proper. Members are UNIX, NT, and Network administrators -- sometimes a combination of the three. Someday we may get around to building some structure into the group, but that hasn't happened yet. (Of course, there are no membership dues either.) We are also an official USENIX SAGE local group.
