New Delhi: To help organizations secure all their enterprise databases and address regulatory requirements, Oracle has launched Oracle Audit Vault Release 10.2.3. This latest release of Oracle Audit Vault 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. It supports auditing at the statement level, object level, and fine-grained auditing that allow organizations the flexibility to effectively audit their databases. With Oracle Audit Vault, audit data is automatically consolidated into a secure, centralized repository based on Oracle’s data warehousing technology, and analyzed in real-time against enterprise-defined policies. Any unauthorized activities can be immediately detected using Oracle Audit Vault’s dashboard alerts capabilities. Oracle Audit Vault also features built-in and customizable reports to address the need for reliable compliance reporting for regulations such as the Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) Act, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard (DSS). This release introduces additional pre-built reports, and now captures before-and-after changes to sensitive data to help organization save time and costs related to compliance reporting. "Oracle Audit Vault 10.2.3 allows organizations to turn database audit data into mission-critical business intelligence for enabling enterprise security and regulatory compliance," said Vipin Samar, vice president of Database Security, Oracle.
