Database activity monitoring (DAM) solutions mitigate data risk by discovering critical data in the data center; intelligently monitoring and analyzing the activity that affects it; providing detailed auditing trails; and reporting on all user access to data stored in open systems such as databases, fileservers, and legacy applications such as mainframe systems.
Database auditing and monitoring helps assure core data by addressing four critically important data issues:
- Data Discovery - Where is sensitive data stored in the data center?
- Data Activity Monitoring - How, where, what, when, and by whom is data being accessed?
- Data Risk Assessment - If data risks are detected, can this risk be managed in an automated way to assure data for compliance and governance?
- Data Risk Management - Can stored data be protected from data theft, including data theft by authorized users?
