In this era of offshore outsourcing it is imperative that companies are able toprotect their valuable intellectual property. In addition, companies are alsofacing new regulatory requirements imposed by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) that arehaving an impact on IT organizations. In order to respond to these challenges, ITorganizations must be able to control and track access to source code. WithWANdiscoÂ's new security features, which build upon WANdiscoÂ's unique multi-sitedevelopment solutions, organizations are now able to achieve this.
WANdiscoÂ's Enterprise Edition provides full authorization, authentication, accesscontrol and audit capabilities that go well beyond the security features that CVS,Subversion, or CVSNT provide on their own. Administrators can implement andmaintain the most complex security policies across all development sites with aminimum of effort. Single sign-on is supported by integration with LDAP and otherauthentication servers. Once the security configuration is defined it can bereplicated automatically to all sites. Groups, roles and users can be defined andfine grained access control can be implemented down to the branch, module, sourcecode file, or client ip address levels, to ensure the segregation of duties thatauditors look for.  As the source of version history truth, the SCM system is the nexus of anytraceability effort, said Carey Schwaber, Forrester Analyst.
WANdisco automates this traceability effort by providing online audit reports thattrack:
 What access rights users have
 When access rights were changed and by whom
 User access history showing when source code files were accessed by a user over agiven time period, and what commands were used
 User access violations including: userid, ipAddress of system from which accesswas attempted, files accessed, branches accessed, command used, and date and timeof unauthorized access attempt.

About WANdisco
Since 2001 WANdisco has set out to push the limits of what can be achieved withdistributed systems deployed on a Wide Area Network (WAN). The result of theseefforts is new technology that fundamentally changes the way distributed nodes, orservers, interact to provide unprecedented levels of reliability, availability andscalability (RAS) enabling the internet to realize its full potential. WANdisco hasapplied this technology to the development of its suite of multi-site SCM solutionsfor CVS, CVSNT, and Subversion. For the first time a development team can truly bespread-out across the world and work as one unit, in real-time.
Global 2000 companies rely on WANdiscoÂ's suite of SCM solutions for CVS,CVSNT andSubversion to enable them to distribute work based on where their talent is located,rather than on the basis of time-zone constraints. This results in dramaticallyreduced costs and significantly improved utilization of scarce resources. For moreinformation, visit www.wandisco.com.
