Guardium Expands Worldwide Distribution Channel in Response to Growing Demand for Real-Time Database Security and Monitoring

(May 07, 2007)-- Guardium, the database security company, announced that it has significantly expanded its worldwide reseller channel with the addition of twelve new partners.

The company’s rapid expansion reflects a universal requirement -- across all geographies and industries -- for protecting sensitive data in real-time and reducing compliance costs via automated controls.

Unlike traditional approaches that rely on native database auditing or log reading, Guardium prevents both unauthorized changes to databases and information leakage with a database-independent solution that supports all major database platforms -- without impacting performance or requiring changes to databases or applications.

Guardium’s new reseller relationships have already resulted in multiple sales to enterprise accounts, including: A global financial services company, a national tax revenue agency,  a regional government organization.

“Organizations are learning they need to safeguard the privacy of sensitive information such as cardholder data from both hackers and privileged insiders. At the same time, they need to protect the integrity of corporate financial information from unauthorized changes caused by faulty business and IT processes,” said Mark Rand, president of Meridian Information Security. “Guardium provides a single unified solution for addressing these complex requirements with centralized and automated controls that have minimal impact on existing infrastructures. These independent controls are quickly becoming best practices with benefits that go beyond complying with data governance and privacy regulations such as Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX), Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), and FISMA.”
