The CA Compliance Event Manager team is excited to announce our latest enhancement--out-of-the-box, predefined policy sets, statements, and actions. These predefined policies let you quickly implement monitoring and real-time alerting with minimal manual effort.
What's New
CA Compliance Event Manager's first set of predefined policies focus on Security Essentials. Security Essentials is an offering from CA Mainframe Resource Intelligence (CA MRI), which provides assessments of External Security Manager configurations and settings to compare with industry best practices. Several best practice recommendations within CA MRI Security Essentials align with capabilities in CA Compliance Event Manager. To ensure easy adoption of these best practices, our predefined policies align with this Security Essentials initiative.
A new View option in the UI lets you quickly see the predefined policy set details, such as the included policy statements and actions, in one convenient location. This option makes it easy to see whether the predefined policies will work for you right out of the box.

What's Next
We plan to build on this offering, adding more predefined policies. Future predefined policies will focus on other security best practice recommendations. We will prioritize them based on customer feedback.
What predefined policies would be most valuable to you? We welcome your feedback--reply to this post, or share your ideas on the Community Ideation board.
