DbSecure Launches SQL Auditor for Microsoft SQL Server

Business Wire, August 10, 1998

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--August 10, 1998--In response to an overwhelming need for increased security for database management systems, DbSecure, pioneers in database security assessment tools, announced the release of SQL Auditor 4.0 for Microsoft SQL Server today. In effect, the tool provides organizations with the power to protect their most important assets: databases. It guards against potentially devastating security breaches with a transparent scan and model comparison.

Because of this never-before-seen ability to assess and analyze DBMS's, SQL Auditor is an essential addition to every organization's defense system. It thoroughly analyzes the overall safety of a Microsoft SQL Server by highlighting policy violations, weak passwords, stale logins, login attacks, and evidence of malicious behavior. SQL Server Security policies can be customized with SQL Auditor through the use of DbSecure's Security Knowledge Wizard (SKW) and templates of ideal industry practices. SQL Auditor's easy-to-use, Windows-based, graphical user interface, (GUI), displays information in a format ideal for database administrators, network administrators, security personnel, and information system auditors. SQL Auditor is the first solution to satisfy the need for securing mission critical databases especially SQL Server. A thorough assessment that once required several years of SQL Server experience, and over forty hours to complete, now requires common sense, and less than four minutes to complete.

SQL Auditor contains a full set of summary and detailed reports. Audit results are laid out in clear and understandable reports accessible to all levels of management. Each report uncovers high-risk security areas, dynamically explains the state of security, and recommends improvements.

SQL Auditor's ability to highlight important details and offer solutions makes it an essential tool for unraveling all of the security mysteries of the SQL Server. In addition, an audit trail is provided so that a security history can be maintained for ongoing trend analysis.

Pricing and Availability

SQL Auditor for Microsoft SQL Server will ship in August 1998. Its suggested price is $995 per SQL Server, and can be purchased directly from DbSecure or through authorized DbSecure Partners worldwide.
