| Lumigent's New Audit DB 5.5 for IT Audit and Compliance Processes Lumigent Technologies, Inc. announced Lumigent Audit DB(TM) 5.5, which further reduces the time required for compliance and IT audit preparation. Lumigent's new policy and reporting capabilities enable users to streamline control processes, easily prove compliance, and tailor audit results for individual company stakeholders. The software is the most comprehensive solution ensuring the integrity and use of sensitive data available today. In developing Audit DB 5.5, Lumigent incorporated the feedback from its 470-plus customers-by far the largest database auditing user base. From these interactions, Lumigent developed flexible industry-best practice security policy templates, against which data activity is compared for acceptable, secure use. Such policies could include that employees only access sensitive data during normal business hours. When users perform data auditing against specific policy definitions it generates highly relevant results, reducing interpretation and remediation time. Lumigent provides the most complete audit trail available, and the new policy framework enables contextualized insight for compliance and security. The new Lumigent Audit DB 5.5 software's enhanced reporting capabilities automate the creation of stakeholder-customized reports. This reduces the time and cost associated with developing reports manually. Reports provide trend information across date ranges, helping executives quickly determine how security policies are working. Auditor and DBA-level reports give more granular technical detail. Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404 and other regulation-based reports can be developed too, delivering quick analysis and assurance for specific IT controls. Lumigent Audit DB 5.5 provides other key differentiators. Audit DB is the only product that can provide insight into whether sensitive information was used in accordance with policy. It provides the relevant, contextual information for both the cause and effect of user activity, and production of forensic-level information for auditors. In addition, Lumigent is the only solution that never requires enabling intensive native database auditing. Instead, it is based on actual use as recorded by native database transaction or archive logs-the most authoritative source pertaining to database activity. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Computing News :: home page |
