Secerno Adds Feature For Blocking DB Access By Application, Domain Levels

DataWallT 4.2 gives CIOs the ability to block database access by application and domain levels

Apr 29, 2010 | 05:22 PM

Oxford, United Kingdom - April 27, 2010 - Secerno, the technology leader in data security, today announced the availability of DataWallT 4.2, which is the industry's first enterprise-ready data protection system, including the following features:

* The ability to set policies by client, application and domain or user name * Support for the IBM Universal Database, which now extends relational database management system support to 11 platforms * 10Gbit network support, giving busy corporate data centers an easy and fast way to manage high volume environments * Further enhancement to High Availability (HA) deployment options to suit all data center architectures

The features of DataWall 4.2 comprise the level of data protection needed by today's CIO. Data protection needs to meet the level of activity on the extended enterprise network, which makes the 10Gbit network support and high availability deployment options critical elements for corporate protection. Having the ability to track and block activity based on user profile, domain name, application or program type is essential for enterprise security as cloud environments, social media and web 2.0 applications enter corporate life. A recent independent research report found that "inappropriate access by over-privileged employees continues to be a simmering security issue." ("Data Security Predictions for 2010," Forrester Research Inc. December 2009). With DataWall 4.2, only those employees with proper permissions will be allowed to access sensitive data.

"The volume of data combined with increased vulnerabilities from new applications and device types, makes enterprise security more difficult than ever before," said Steve Hurn, CEO of Secerno. "We had this threat environment in mind when we developed DataWall 4.2 to provide the most effective tool in the CIO's security arsenal."

Database Security Reports

report You've Been Breached: Responding to a Database Compromise
Criminals are after your corporate databases, and sometimes, despite your best efforts, they get in and steal credit card numbers, personally identifiable information, proprietary business data or sensitive intellectual property. What do you do then? In this Dark Reading Tech Center report, we discuss the basics of incident response; discovering what was breached, and how; and the best way to protect your assets going forward.

report Beyond the Database: Protecting Unstructured Data
Corporate databases may be the crown jewels, but unstructured data stores contain plenty of diamonds in the rough. Organizations can be burned by an exposed spreadsheet of credit card numbers, an e-mail with patient information or a file share containing reports on a pharmaceutical company's new wonder drug. In this Dark Reading Tech Center report, we show how to classify, find and protect unstructured data across the enterprise.

report Protecting Databases from Web Applications
Most external hacks of databases occur because of flaws in Web applications that link to those databases. Yet, enterprises are increasingly exposing their most valuable data to these outward-facing interfaces. In this Dark Reading Tech Center report, we'll discuss how security teams, database administrators and application developers can work together to improve the defenses of both front-end Web applications and back-end databases to prevent these attacks from succeeding, and offer a look at the most frequent Web-borne database attacks.
