Compuware has released a
security tool to help companies investigate internal data
breaches.
The supplier’s Application Auditing solution works with its
Hiperstation platform to address mainframe data and application
security issues with internal, authorised users.
The biggest security threat facing many organisations is
internal, fuelling the need for internal security solutions.
Compuware said that as well as having strategies to prevent
unauthorised users from accessing data, companies needed a solution
providing an insight into the actions of trusted users.
Application Auditing allows organisations to capture the
application activity of authorised users. Compuware said that the
information created an audit trail that could be used to
investigate details of a security breach and to pinpoint those
customers affected, ultimately minimising the problem.
Application Auditing can handle large amounts of mainframe data
as it works with Hiperstation, which is directly connected to the
mainframe operating system.
