IBM BigFix
What is IBM BigFix?
IBM BigFix (formerly Tivoli Endpoint Manager) is an endpoint security solution that lets you see, understand and act on endpoint threats fast. BigFix delivers complete management and security to all endpoints (Windows, Mac, Linux, UNIX and Mobile) across the entire network with real-time visibility and closed-loop process on the lifecycle of each device, using a single server for up to 250,000 endpoints utilizing a single port and intelligent agent.
The core differentiation lies in its security policy management capabilities with fully automated remediation. The product includes an extensive library of compliance templates with matching remediation action content for DISA, STIG, FDCC, SCAP, and USGCB. Another differentiator is that the tool’s intelligence is on the endpoint, rather than the server. This allows the agent to actively discover a deviation from policy and execute remediation, rather than rely on a predefined schedule of system scans and subsequent server-side reporting. This enables organizations to maintain higher degrees of configuration compliance. IBM’s solution is a particularly good fit for heavily regulated industries and government.
