Oracle Audit Vault to assist with business-wide compliance

The software is an enterprise-class audit consolidation and management suite that enables organisations to simplify compliance reporting, proactively detect threats, reduce costs and secure audit data. Oracle says it delivers an in-depth view of audit data pulled from the database, helps to ensure the integrity of this information and can reduce the cost of compliance, by making it easier for auditors and security personnel to manage and report on this data. Using the product, organisations can consolidate audit silos across their enterprise and securely house the audit data in a single location. Additionally, its alerting capability assists organisations in detecting unauthorised access early, helping mitigate risk and potential financial liabilities. Customers and partners that participated in the Oracle Audit Vault beta program say they quickly recognised the product’s unique ability to help streamline audit requirements associated with regulations across a number of requirements./ “With legislative mandates and security threats on the rise, it is increasingly important for organisations to adopt and implement comprehensive protection and compliance initiatives,” says Trent Henry, senior analyst at the Burton Group. “Given the critical information at stake, database auditing and monitoring solutions are fundamental for today’s environment because they serve a dual purpose - helping streamline audit reporting while improving an organisation’s overall security.” Oracle Audit Vault is a component of Oracle’s security products. Oracle Audit Vault Server is priced at $50,000 per processor and the Oracle Audit Vault Collection Agent is available for $3,000 per processor. Oracle Audit Vault currently consolidates and manages audit data from Oracle Database 10g Release 2, Oracle Database 10g and Oracle9i Database Release 2.
