Features New Protection for Teradata Databases, Free Database
Audit Plug-in for MySQL and Ability to Manage Database Security Outside
of its Own Silo
RSA CONFERENCE--McAfee
today announced its new McAfee
Database Activity Monitoring solution offering reliable, real-time
protection for business-critical databases. The solution enables
organizations to achieve much greater security management efficiency
through its incorporation into the McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator
centralized security management platform.
According to a 2010
Verizon Business Study, more than 90 percent of records breached
involved a database, with more than 87 percent based on exploits
requiring significant technical skills. The McAfee database security
solution protects databases from external, internal and intra-database
threats, requiring no architecture changes or costly downtime. The
latest version of McAfee Database Activity Monitoring now supports MySQL
and Teradata databases, in an effort to ensure complete protection
across the most popular database management systems.
"Teradata worked closely with McAfee to enable their support of Teradata
in the new release of McAfee Database Activity Monitoring," said Jim
Browning, Enterprise Security Architect for Teradata Labs. "Companies
using McAfee can now realize the power of Teradata while better
monitoring user activity and enhancing the protection of their highly
sensitive data."
McAfee now enables organizations to easily incorporate database security
into their overall security program and realize tremendous management
efficiencies with the full integration of McAfee Vulnerability Manager
for Databases into the McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator console.
"Typically, three out of four organizations rely solely on the native
database security features provided by their database vendor," said
Slavik Markovich, chief technology officer of database security at
McAfee.
