Oracle Unveils Oracle Audit Vault

REDWOOD SHORES, Calif. -- Oracle today announced the general availability of Oracle(R) Audit Vault to help organizations address regulatory requirements and insider threat concerns. Built on reliable and scalable Oracle Database infrastructure software, Oracle Audit Vault is an enterprise-class audit consolidation and management solution that enables organizations to simplify compliance reporting, proactively detect threats, reduce costs and secure audit data.

Faced with numerous regulatory mandates and increasing concerns about insider threats, organizations are utilizing database audit data as an important security measure, enforcing the trust-but-verify principle. Oracle Audit Vault delivers an in-depth and comprehensive 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, organizations can consolidate audit silos across their enterprise and securely house the audit data in a single location. Additionally, Oracle Audit Vault's alerting capability assists organizations in detecting unauthorized access early, helping mitigate risk and potential financial liabilities.

"With legislative mandates and security threats on the rise, it is increasingly important for organizations to adopt and implement comprehensive protection and compliance initiatives," said Trent Henry, Senior Analyst, 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 organization's overall security."
