CimTrak for Hypervisors is a software solution designed to monitor, detect, and remediate changes in hypervisor environments, specifically targeting VMware ESX/ESXi hosts. It examines critical configuration components such as user and host access permissions, network settings, integration with third-party tools, and advanced user configurations. By directly interfacing with the hypervisor to capture actual configuration data files, CimTrak provides comprehensive visibility and control over virtualized environments. This enables organizations to maintain security, operational continuity, and compliance with standards like CIS Benchmarks, while automating configuration management and reducing the risk of unauthorized or accidental changes that could impact virtual infrastructure.
