Wed, October 28, 2009 NetIQ Extends Change and Activity Monitoring to Relational Databases
HOUSTON, TX--(Marketwire - October 28, 2009) - As security teams take greater measures to prevent data breaches and comply with mandates such as [ Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard ] (PCI DSS), they are seeking solutions to protect enterprise "crown jewels" -- relational databases housing critical corporate information. To that end, [ NetIQ ] Corporation today announced NetIQ® Change Guardian™ for Databases. With this product, NetIQ is entering the Database Activity Monitoring market to provide a comprehensive, integrated approach to security information and event management ([ SIEM ]) -- protecting host systems, applications and the data within them.
[ NetIQ Change Guardian for Databases ] is the result of a strategic OEM relationship with Netezza Corporation (
"Understanding how change and privilege user activity impact business-critical databases is essential to meeting the ongoing demands of industry and regulatory mandates," commented Prat Moghe, general manager, Data Compliance, Netezza Corporation. "Combining Mantra technology and its industry-leading performance and scalability with NetIQ's [ SIEM solution ] provides enterprises with comprehensive change and activity monitoring that can best meet their increasing security and compliance demands."
This latest addition to the NetIQ Change Guardian family delivers real-time activity and change monitoring across relational databases, without significantly impacting database performance or operation. NetIQ Change Guardian for Databases:
-- Audits access to databases and identifies potentially suspicious behavior, enabling faster, more comprehensive automated responses.
-- Monitors and alerts on suspicious activity undertaken by privileged users.
-- Alerts on changes made to the database, providing protection from insiders who may purposefully weaken security or inadvertently damage a business-critical database.
