Data Management

As your business needs become more dynamic, monitoring systems will be key to understanding how applications fulfill business needs and your ability to provide governance will determine the success level of your entire enterprise. With complexity growing at such a hyperbolic rate, in the future, automated application discovery and dependency mapping will not just be useful -it will be mandatory.

Data center consolidation and migration projects are fraught with risk. By using Network Behavior Analysis (NBA) systems to get a handle on dependency information, usage information, change impact information, and post-change problem identification, IT organizations can significantly reduce risk by automating and improving the planning process and minimizing disruption during implementation.

Organizations across the globe continue to experience compromised data caused by malicious attacks, web application vulnerabilities or unauthorized changes. These organizations are also challenged to remain in compliance by the proliferation of diverse databases and platforms distributed across the enterprise -including cloud, commercial, OLTP and batch environments. IBM® InfoSphere® solutions for data security and privacy are designed to support a holistic approach, helping organizations protect its data against a complex threat landscape while remaining focused on business goals. Because the InfoSphere solutions are scalable and modular, organizations can focus on their most critical data protection concerns first, and then adopt other solutions over time. InfoSphere solutions for data security and privacy help your organization to: understand where the data exists; safeguard sensitive data, both structured and unstructured; protect production and non-production environments; secure and continuously monitor access to data; and demonstrate compliance to pass audits. View this demo and learn how IBM InfoSphere Guardium® database activity monitoring can help protect your sensitive data in distributed DBMS environments with a holistic approach to data security and compliance.

Data security presents a multi-dimensional challenge in today's complex IT environment. Multiple access paths and permission levels have resulted in a broad array of security threats and vulnerabilities. Traditional "fortress approaches" such as firewalls and IDS/IPS systems are no longer sufficient to defend against attackers who can easily bypass perimeter defenses. These security measures can't differentiate or prevent unauthorized traffic that appears to be legitimate. We invite you to read this new eBook: "Protecting against database attacks and insider threats" to learn the top five scenarios and essential best practices for preventing database attacks and insider threats.

As databases continue to grow in size, complexity and importance, enterprises struggle to identify the most appropriate controls regarding their use and misuse. The most effective database security implementations will leverage controls across administrative, preventive and detective controls. The report identifies best practices, including: Implementing database activity monitoring to mitigate the high levels of risk from database vulnerabilities, and address audit findings in areas such as database segregation of duties and change management; using data security measures, such as data masking and data encryption; and monitoring privileged-user access and access to critical data.
