SolarWinds User Device Tracker adds whitelisting and port shutdown capabilities

SolarWinds UDT allows IT professionals to quickly identify all network devices, track historic device locations, perform automatic network discovery, produce a comprehensive list of switches and ports, and map logical connections. In addition, SolarWinds UDT features customizable reports and simple, do-it-yourself deployment.

SolarWinds UDT now includes two new features that aid in actively managing and mitigating security risks on a network. Whitelisting now allows IT pros to define a list of safe devices based on MAC address, IP address or host name, and receive an alert when a rogue device not on the list connects to the network. Port shutdown enables IT pros to remotely shut down a compromised port with point-and-click simplicity while the event is audited.
