On-Demand Video Details Top Strategies for Securing Critical Enterprise Data

WALTHAM, Mass. (April 22, 2008) — Guardium, the database security company, is offering an on-demand videocast to educate organizations on how to protect critical enterprise data and pass compliance audits without impacting business performance.  The presentation features: a Gartner vice president and data security expert who will explain why database activity monitoring is important; the CIO of USEC, a $1.85 billion NYSE-traded energy company; and a Guardium vice president who will highlight the system’s scalability and ease of implementation.

In this half-hour session, viewers will learn:

  • The benefits of database activity monitoring (DAM)
  • How to evaluate DAM solutions
  • A comparison of DAM with native database logging as well as complementary technologies such as data leakage protection (DLP), security information and event management (SIEM)
  • What business problems led USEC to consider DAM
  • Why USEC chose Guardium
  • Architecture and scalability of the Guardium solution, with supporting case studies

In a recent report, Gartner highlights the importance of DAM, explaining that companies should “implement DAM functionality to mitigate the high levels of risk resulting from database vulnerabilities and to address audit findings in such areas as database segregation of duties (SOD) and change management” (“DAM Technology Provides Monitoring and Analytics With Less Overhead,” November 2007 by Mark Nicolett and Jeffrey Wheatman).

Guardium’s real-time database security and monitoring solution protects sensitive corporate and customer data with a single, scalable solution for all major database platforms and enterprise applications.  The system prevents unauthorized or suspicious activities with database-focused analytics, policy-based controls and anomaly detection, without impacting database performance.
