IT Operations Manager

My executives, auditors and regulatory bodies demand that IT ensure the integrity and security of sensitive data in order to address regulatory compliance, and mitigate the risk associated with compromised data. My Internal and external auditors demand tighter controls, including tracking internal use of sensitive data, and ensuring that DBAs are adhering to internal policies. The problem is I’ve got no additional resources to contend with these challenges. How am I supposed to manage this with resources that are already stretched? The answer lies, in part, with automating IT controls.

The Cervello Solution - Automate database auditing with Cervello Audit DB

Database auditing helps mitigate the significant business risks associated with requirements for regulatory compliance and the use of corporate data assets, including fraud, failed audits, lost customers, and loss of brand/reputation. Audit DB, an enterprise data auditing solution, mitigates these risks by providing a comprehensive audit trail of critical data activity including data access, data changes, data viewing (who's looking at what data) and changes to database structure. Database auditing augments current security measures by focusing on activity inside the firewall, where the majority of data misuse, intentional or otherwise, occurs. Database auditing provides assurance that data is used only in appropriate ways, in order to meet regulatory compliance requirements, and for data management best practices.

How it Works

Audit DB provides a complete record of access and modifications to data, database structure and permissions. Audit DB uses low impact data agents to audit target servers. These data agents harvest information about database activity and optionally generate alerts on login activity and changes to database structure and permissions. Audit DB is designed to be easy to administer across the enterprise, with simple scheduling and configuration of data agents from a familiar console across databases and database platforms. Audit data is archived in structured repositories for ease of analysis and reporting. Unlike other technologies Audit DB checks every single transaction, monitoring the before and after situation and ensuring that nothing escapes scrutiny.
