Oracle has released a system designed to help
organisations address
database regulatory requirements and
insider threat concerns.
Built on Oracle database infrastructure software,
Oracle Audit Vault is an audit consolidation and management
system for
compliance reporting, detecting threats and securing audit
data, said Oracle.
Oracle said the system delivers an in-depth and comprehensive
view of audit data pulled from the database, helps to
ensure the integrity of this information, and can reduce the
cost of compliance by making it easier for auditors and security
personnel to manage and report on this data.
The system will consolidate audit silos across an enterprise and
securely house the audit data in a single location. In addition,
Oracle Audit Vault’s alerting capability detects
unauthorised access early, which is aimed to mitigate risk and
potential financial liabilities.
Trent Henry, a senior analyst at Burton Group, said, “Given the
critical information at stake, database auditing and monitoring
solutions are fundamental for today's environment because they
serve a dual purpose - helping streamline audit reporting while
improving an organisation's overall security.”
Oracle Audit Vault currently consolidates and manages audit data
from
Oracle Database 10g Release 2, Oracle Database 10g and
Oracle9i Database Release 2.
