Lumigent Boosts Speed, Performance Of Audit DB
Lumigent Technologies, Inc., the first to market with GRC business control systems, recently announced the availability of Audit DB 6.2, the latest version of the company's unified solution for data auditing, policy management, and database assessment. Audit DB is also the core technology powering Lumigent's AppGRC, the industry's first automated GRC control suite for business applications. Speed and performance improvements highlight the latest version of Audit DB.
Audit DB helps organizations map business processes to a set of automated controls. The solution continuously monitors for abuse of information policies and inappropriate access and use of sensitive data. It is the only solution that can substantiate audit and compliance controls over data assets and transparency of data integrity through the delivery of a complete audit trail. Only Audit DB combines automated and continuous database assessment with database activity monitoring into one solution that can determine both what could happen and what did happen to an organization's data.
"Audit DB is our crown jewel, the foundation upon which Lumigent and many Lumigent customers build application-aware GRC systems," said John H. Capobianco, president and CEO of Lumigent. "To maintain the excellence of AppGRC as well as the homegrown applications that rely on Audit DB, we continue to improve that Audit DB engine."
Enhancing Audit DB 6.2
Audit DB 6.2 contains significant improvements over the previous release. In addition, Lumigent has improved the upgrade process itself, including testing and verifying Audit DB 6.2 when moving from earlier versions. Key enhancements to Audit DB 6.2 include:
- Faster performance. To meet scalability and performance demands, Audit DB 6.2 introduces new schema and indexing optimizations along with newly architected database access and re-factored report logic to improve both collection and reporting times. Audit DB 6.2 also provides new filtering and parsers for network capture.
- Improved support for migrating rules and policies. Audit DB 6.2 includes streamlined rule and policy import/export functionality for migrations across systems and environments that is easily incorporated into existing workflows and procedures. This makes it easier to deploy policies in test environments before releasing to production.
- Support for IBM DB2 9.1. Audit DB 6.2 now supports DB2 v9.1. DB2 v9.5 support will be available Q1 2009.
- Improved support for SQL Server clusters. For organizations using database clustering to improve quality of service, Audit DB 6.2 significantly reduces the complexity and effort involved with setting up database activity monitoring in clustered SQL Server environments.
- Improved reporting. To improve administrator productivity, Audit DB 6.2 includes new reporting functionality.
- Improved documentation. Other Audit DB 6.2 improvements include better and more streamlined documentation. The implementation guide has been updated to include greater detail about deploying Audit DB and about tuning and scaling solutions.
