By combining configuration control with change monitoring on the file system and system registry companies can:

  • Substantially improve uptime by getting a vital early warning system to help prevent system problems
  • Quickly identify and mitigate potentially damaging changes such as the introduction of malware or cracked binaries
  • Significantly reduce the time to troubleshoot and identify issues when outages do occur

However, the Who, What and When of change, is for all practical purposes impossible to monitor and detect in the Windows environment, leaving IT lacking critical information necessary to keep machines up and running, diagnose problems and prevent security problems.

WhatChanged enables IT personnel to easily and cost effectively monitor and detect change in a Windows system over time, or by using a white-list approach, change in a policy-based configuration. Instead of hours spent looking for what happened, WhatChanged allows IT to quickly view a complete record of what has changed, who changed it and when it was changed for valuable clues to the root cause of a problem for quick remediation before costly disruptions occur.

WhatChanged represents an invaluable tool in the hands of IT to improve end-user satisfaction, increase security and enhance enterprise productivity.

Automated Change and Configuration Management

WhatChanged provides a powerful framework for detecting change in the Windows environment. Change data provides a record of the monitored system and can provide an early warning system into potentially dangerous change. In addition, when a problem does occur, this data substantially cuts problem diagnosis time.
