Lumigent Audit DB - Database Auditing
With today's increasing data security awareness, financial reporting regulations and data privacy concerns, there now exists an entirely new breed of software applications which comprehensively address IT auditing requirements.
Introducing Audit DB 6 and the new AuditFlex™ architecture, Lumigent Audit DB is the most flexible and complete data auditing solution available today that puts "choice" into your hands. With Audit DB and its AuditFlex architecture, you have the power of three data auditing technologies (Transaction Log Reading, Network Capture/Sniffing, and Native Auditing) in one integrated solution. Choose to deploy one, all three, or a sample of each to fulfill all data auditing needs across your organisation.
Audit DB provides a continuous assessment of your data environment with the ability to continuously monitor, record, analyse, and report on all data access and use. Unlike other data auditing methods, the solution is uniquely positioned to deliver "before and after" values. As a result, you know exactly who has access to your data, what they did, and what happened as a result of their access. With this insight, organisations have complete confidence in the integrity of their data and can easily pass strict auditing requirements for proof of control over data assets.
Audit DB - Highlights
- Unified Data Collection - collects audit data via transaction logs,network capture or native auditing individually or in any combination to fit your business needs.
- Data-Level Auditing - Lumigent's patented technology shows the before and after values of data changes - even those done by privileged users - for use with forensics and regulatory requirements.
- Real-Time Alerts - Provides real-time, network-based notification of violations as they happen.
- Continuous and Powerful Assessment - Mitigates risk by finding vulnerabilities while ensuring your patch level is in accordance with industry standards. Automatically identifies, disables, and deletes expired or obsolete users.
- Scalable Architecture - offers distributed, low-impact agent technology combined with a best-of-breed repository and report server, resulting in the ability to scale to large, multi-national deployments.
- Open Repository - Utilises an enterprise-class (Oracle, DB2, MS SQL) repository database to fit into your existing enterprise security, backup, recovery, and hardware platform processes.
- Flexible and Expandable - Enables quick deployment through utilisation of a software agent that adapts swiftly to changing requirements and fits easily into existing enterprise packaged deployments.
Audit DB - Assessment Module
The assessment capabilities of Audit DB provide a view of risk to data; areas of weakness are identified so that gaps in protection can be covered before they are exploited. Audit DB provides a continuous assessment of database entitlements, security configurations, and vulnerabilities/exploits. After an initial assessment, a baseline is established and monitored for deviations. Any conditions of interest that deviate from the baseline are sent by alert for review. Assessment data is consolidated into a single repository from across the enterprise and correlated into reports.
Audit DB - Activity Monitoring Module
The activity monitoring module of Audit DB uses non-invasive technology to audit database activities, including DML (including before and after values), DDL, and SELECT activities, to give you a complete understanding of who did what to your data. It validates the effectiveness of system controls, monitors performance against data security policies, and delivers a continuous and trusted audit trail of information access and use, including that of privileged users with direct access to database assets. Activity information for all audited databases is consolidated into a common, secure repository where it is used for extensive analysis and reporting.
Flexible, Detailed Escalation Reports
Audit DB reports offer flexible role-based reporting - by organisational structure, server landscape, and audit requirements. A large set of
preconfigured reports can be used out-of-the-box or customised. Dashboard-level and detailed views are available. Powerful filters enable
you to drill down to granular details quickly.
