Cimcor: Comprehensive Real-Time Security for IT Systems

The rapid evolution of cyber threats is creating security challenges in spite of the fact that many corporations have world-class security processes in place. For instance, the independent lab, AV-Test indicates that it currently catalogs 390,000 new strains of malware every day. Modern cyber criminal’s new found level of planning and patience to plant malicious software on systems is maximizing the impact. Malware is being produced at such a voracious pace, it is becoming increasingly difficult for security vendors to scale and provide tools that can identify and respond to these threats. Indiana based, Cimcor, Inc. embodies the combination of innovation and simplicity in developing security software that remains effective, even against latest threats and attacks.

In contrast to many signature-based security products, CimTrak—a comprehensive security, integrity and compliance application, focuses on ensuring that servers, network devices, and other components of the IT infrastructure are exactly in the same expected state. This capability is made possible by the advanced authoritative baseline that CimTrak creates and maintains for each server, workstation, network device, or IT component that is being monitored. “We created CimTrak because we felt that the predominant methods of securing systems, based on malware fingerprints, were largely ineffective and would not scale well over time,” says Robert E. Johnson III, President & CEO, Cimcor, Inc.

The core mission of the CimTrak Integrity Suite is to provide enterprises with deep insight and knowledge of all changes within their infrastructure, with the ability to detect changes in real-time. CimTrak provides detailed information such as, when the change was made, who made the change, what process/program was used to make the change, and other forensic information.

CimTrak can help an organization improve their security posture by proactively monitoring the integrity of VMWareESXi hosts configurations, Active Directory/ LDAP attributes, router/switch/firewall configurations, virtual network settings, users and groups, registry entries, and much more. CimTrak can even identify unanticipated changes to Oracle, MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server, and IBM DB2 database schemas.
