Tizor and Intellitactics Partner to Tackle Data Theft and Compliance Issues

(May 29, 2008)-- Tizor Systems, provider of enterprise database monitoring and protection solutions and Intellitactics, provider of appliances and software for enterprise security information and event management (SIEM), announced a technology alliance to deliver integrated solutions that provide a comprehensive, enterprise-class approach to data security. The partnership was formed to address the market need for integrated enterprise-class solutions that can address major data security challenges such as core-database breach detection, insider threats, data outsourcing risk, and data compliance auditing and reporting. The partnership includes solution integration as well as joint selling, marketing, and customer service efforts.

Database monitoring and protection, sometimes referred to as database activity monitoring (DAM), addresses insider misuse of enterprise data, enforces separation of duties and catches data breaches at core database servers. Security information and event management (SIEM) provides for the monitoring, 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 historical analysis of logs, and internal audit and compliance reporting.

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

Tizor's Mantra is the first product designed specifically for high performance database monitoring and auditing capable of detecting anomalous user behavior across even the largest enterprise data center. Unlike firewall-based solutions, Mantra's architecture balances sophisticated policy filtering, analytics and reporting capabilities with an intuitive user interface and policy language. This functionality enables rapid deployment across relational databases and data stored on file shares. Because Tizor's Mantra database auditing and protection solutions deploy faster than other auditing solutions and policies are easier to generate and maintain, it offers a lowertotal cost of ownership . With Mantra enterprises can rapidly address database security, internal data governance and a wide range of external compliance requirements and standards such as C-SOX, SOX, GLBA, FFIEC and PCI.

Intellitactics Security Manager consolidates and analyzes data from security devices, operating systems, and applications to provide real-time threat detection, historical analysis for forensics, and compliance reporting. Security Manager centralizes security information and automates log aggregation, security event management, actionable alerting and incident response. One-click alert assessments and simple drill-down to the parsed and raw events provide contextual details for any alert under investigation. Further, Security Manager enables IT to streamline incident handling and provides hundreds of reports that verify and validate compliance with regulatory standards, internal policies, or industry best practices.
