Satisfying compliance regulations such as SOX, PCI, and HIPAA and mitigating security risks are among the top security challenges businesses face today. Today the use of audit data as a security resource remains very much a manual process, requiring IT security and audit personnel to sift through large amounts of dispersed audit data and create reports to meet internal and external auditor requirements.

Oracle Audit Vault automates the audit collection, monitoring and reporting process, turning audit data into a key security resource for detecting unauthorized activity. The latest release of Oracle Audit Vault 10.2.3.2 now supports monitoring Microsoft SQL Server 2000, 2005, and 2008, IBM DB2 UDB 8.2 through 9.5, and Sybase ASE 12.5.4 through 15.0.x databases. This new capability makes it possible for customers to use a single monitoring solution for Oracle, SQL Server, IBM DB2 UDB, and Sybase ASE databases. The Oracle Audit Vault Reports interface provides entitlement reports with up-to-date snapshots of Oracle Database users, privileges, and profiles, which allow auditors to track changes to database access and out-of-the-box reports to help meet compliance regulations as well as charting capabilities.
