IPLocks Launches First Database
Security Audit System
IPLocks, an innovative provider of database vulnerability assessment and
continuous risk monitoring systems, announced IPLocks Database Security Audit
System (IPLocks-DSAS) version 3.2, the first database security solution to
automate the process of assessing and monitoring transaction-level data
integrity to significantly reduce the window of vulnerability for database
changes and suspicious access patterns often associated with information
theft. IPLocks-DSAS instantaneously alerts on malicious acts, security policy
violations, corrupt data, structural integrity changes, patch verification,
hidden viruses and suspicious access or usage patterns.
In recent years, the incidence of security breaches, particularly those
initiated by internal users, has accelerated to alarming proportions.
According to a recent survey by market research firm Evans Data Corp, one in
10 U.S. companies surveyed experienced a database breach. These disturbing
statistics, along with recent legislation such as the Sarbanes-Oxley and the
Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act have prompted many organizations to find ways of
safeguarding data and complying with regulations. IPLocks-DSAS exposes,
analyzes and monitors database security policy violations, suspicious or
malicious changes, structural integrity changes, as well as user access
patterns to ensure secure, authorized business operations in addition to
facilitating compliance for several new industry regulations including
Sarbanes-Oxley, Basel II, Gramm-Leach-Bliley, CA 1386 and the U.S. Patriot
Act.
"IPLocks has now taken database security to the next level with the
delivery
of this new technology," said Akio Sakamoto, CEO at IPLocks. "With damaging
attacks from external hackers, viruses, internal sources and the emergence of
new industry regulations for compliance, customers today are facing data
security issues like never before. We are pleased to be at the forefront of
the industry by providing the first real-time database security system that
proactively protects against database threats in a non-intrusive, scalable and
cost effective manner."
Designed specifically for high volume transactions, IPLocks-DSAS provides a
non-intrusive, "agent-less," cross-platform database vulnerability assessment
and monitoring system that addresses all key database security layers and can
be implemented on a customer's existing infrastructure to provide
unprecedented levels of database protection.
