Database monitoring and protection, sometimes referred to as databaseactivity monitoring (DAM), addresses insider misuse of enterprise data,enforces separation of duties and catches data breaches at core databaseservers. Security information and event management (SIEM) provides for themonitoring, analysis, and reporting of data from security devices,operating systems, and applications to support real-time threat detection,incident investigation and management activities, forensic and historicalanalysis of logs, and internal audit and compliance reporting.

The partnership will enable enterprise customers to protect critical dataassets, control data risk, and meet a range of difficult to addresscompliance requirements in an integrated and cost-effective way. Thetechnology integration between DAM and SIEM will provide automated securityincident analysis, correlation, viewing, reporting and response across theenterprise -- making security management and response more efficient andeffective as well as saving valuable time for security professionals.Enterprises will now have the ability to analyze a broad range of securityevents while also viewing database activity on a granular level.

"Both Tizor and Intellitactics are key elements in our data governancestrategy," said Dan Neal, IT security manager of WestJet, Canada's leadinglow-fare airline. "The integration of these tools will provide us withgreater reporting flexibility and granularity while reducing ouradministrative overhead."

"Themarket need for database activity monitoring and SIM integration was one ofthe main drivers for the partnership. We are excited to be working withIntellitactics to provide our customers with a comprehensive, integratedview into their data activity."
