Oracle Audit Vault 10.2.3 Released!

With this latest release, Oracle Audit Vault customers can now also monitor Microsoft SQL Server databases. Oracle has announced the general availability of Oracle Audit Vault Release 10.2.3. 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 Audit Vault 10.2.3 allows organisations to turn database audit data into mission-critical business intelligence for enabling enterprise security and regulatory compliance," said Vipin Samar, vice president, database security, Oracle.

With Oracle Audit Vault, audit data is automatically consolidated into a secure and centralised repository based on Oracle's data warehousing technology, and analysed in real-time against enterprise-defined policies. Any unauthorised activities can be immediately detected using Oracle Audit Vault's dashboard alerts capabilities.

Oracle Audit Vault also features built-in and customisable 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 latest release introduces additional pre-built reports, and now captures before-and-after changes to sensitive data to help organisation save time and costs related to compliance reporting, says the company.

Oracle Audit Vault 10.2.3 delivers improved reporting capabilities such as filtering audit data, highlighting rows with condition values, as well as generating charts and graphs. Custom reports can be saved and shared within the enterprise or with external auditors. It also increases privileged user monitoring by auditing Oracle Database Vault.

Oracle Audit Vault 10.2.3 is priced at $57,500 per processor and the Oracle Audit Vault Collection Agent for Microsoft SQL Server or Oracle Databases is available for $3,500 per processor.
