SecureSphere DBA Monitor extends auditing visibility for local database access and maintenance operations

FOSTER CITY, CA – August 16, 2005 – Imperva, Inc., the developer of the world’s first Dynamic Profiling Firewall™, today announced SecureSphere DBA Monitor, a transparent extension of SecureSphere’s database monitoring and protection solution that provides visibility into local database access by database and system administrators. With the new extension, SecureSphere users can transparently monitor local database access and maintenance operations as a part of an overall database monitoring and protection solution.

The SecureSphere™ Dynamic Profiling Firewall™ is the first product to provide complete database security including automated policy definition, enforcement, and audit. Deployed on the network in the path of critical database servers, SecureSphere Gateways delivers gigabit performance, sub-millisecond latency, and options for high availability that meet the requirements of the most demanding data center. The SecureSphere DBA Monitor extends this visibility to the level of the physical machine so that security administrators can monitor and audit operations performed locally by database and system administrators.

The SecureSphere DBA Monitor provides the following benefits for automated database security:

Transparent, non-intrusive monitoring of local database access and maintenance operations.
Separation of duties – provides audit visibility without requiring database administration privileges
Multi-database support – SecureSphere supports Oracle, MS-SQL, Sybase, and IBM DB2
Enterprise Scalability – all components of the SecureSphere solution are managed a single sophisticated, three-tier management platform
