Overview
InfoSphere™ Guardium® Configuration Audit System tracks changes to external database objects that affect security. A library of best practices templates speeds deployment.
Databases are installed at the operating system level, utilizing system services. As a result many configuration elements that can affect security reside within operating system constructs, and are difficult to identify and monitor. This module tracks and reports all changes made to those elements.
- Tracks all changes outside the database itself that can affect the security of database environments – such as modifications to database configuration files
- Tracks changes to objects such as environment/registry variables, configuration files, shell scripts, operating system files and executables
- Includes a best practices library with hundreds of preconfigured knowledge templates for checking configurations on all major operating system and DBMS combinations
- Complements InfoSphere Guardium’s Database Activity Monitoring module to provide comprehensive database protection and compliance validation
- Required for all compliance, governance and risk management implementations; for example Requirement 2.2 of PCI DSS
- Implements security best practices with minimal administrator work
- Supports major database platforms from eight vendors
- Operating systems supported: AIX, HP-UX, Linux, Solaris (Sun microsystems), Windows family, z/OS
