USB Auditor from PCProfile is a USB flash drive device that allows you to conduct a software inventory "on demand" on any Windows PC (with a USB port) to minimize the risk of being caught with illegal software. Supplied with script (text based) commands that can be easily modified by an auditor, you simply plug the USB Auditor into the computer you want to investigate for installed software. Then run the program to conduct the audit and the results will be written back to the USB Auditor drive. No files are saved on the user computer being audited and no software needs to be installed on the computer or network. It totally reads from and writes to the USB Auditor drive and requires no database "identification library". You can then unplug the USB Auditor and take it with you anywhere you go for analysis or upload to a central repository for running against SQL databases for compilation. No bigger than your thumb and less then 1/4" thick, you can carry it in your pocket, purse, or on your keychain. This should become an ESSENTIAL "MUST HAVE" tool for any auditor in the light of the increasing efforts by the anti-piracy bodies who are now becoming more aggressive with audits and investigations from tipoffs due to rewards schemes running across the globe. The audit reports generated by the USB Auditor are located at this link XPProfiles on an XPPro machine inside 1.5minutes WITHOUT using any database or library/signature files from a very small executable - 73K in size! BEFORE you rush off and check how accurate these reports are, why not check and see what you are currently getting and see how accurate the results are from your own audit tools. Hint; Some tools that are using database recognition libraries often give false positive answers, that are wasting your time!

the
audit method used is very, very fast, consuming no server based resources; the
audit method does NOT consume any bandwidth as it runs using the
local PC CPU and saves the data direct to the USB drive, until needed centrally for
consolidation;
no software
is written to the user PC no
expensive database libraries of software applications to lookup for results the
audit software needs no training or special skills to run;
the
audit approach forces a distinct sea–change in attitude when users
know that the auditor can demand, and receive, an audit via a USB Drive in
less than 2 mins
the
audit software licence requires no annual
maintenance or upgrade fees (typically 18% to 25% per annum); there
is no need to budget annually for software upgrades and maintenance fees
(unless you change operating system platforms)
It
might also make the difference in satisfying a software compliance audit when
you can clearly demonstrate that ALL audits have been conducted with accurate
results across the whole organization! NOTE: AUDIT Baseline located at
http://www.pcprofile.com/auditbaselinev4.htm performs EXACTLY the same,
the only difference being this version is only licensed for use via a USB
drive! |
