Oracle extends leadership in database auditing and monitoring

Oracle introduces support for Microsoft SQL Server Database Auditing, delivers new reporting and Alerting Capabilities to help address regulatory mandates and insider threats.To help organisations secure all their enterprise databases and address regulatory requirements, Oracle announced the general availability of Oracle Audit Vault Release 10.2.3.

“Although there is no silver bullet when it comes to passing audits, Oracle Audit Vault enables enterprises to more easily generate the kind of reports that auditors are looking for,” said principal and Oracle Practice Leader at Pricewaterhouse Coopers Sohail Siddiqi,. “With support for Microsoft SQL Server, customers with heterogeneous database environments can also increase the security of their enterprise databases using Oracle Audit Vault.”

This latest release of Oracle Audit Vault now collects audit data from Microsoft SQL Server 2000 and 2005, in addition to Oracle Databases, addressing the lack of a Microsoft solution for enterprise database auditing and activity monitoring.

Oracle leads the DBMS industry in native database auditing capabilities including support for auditing privileged and database users.
