Business Wire, April 26, 2006

PORTLAND, Ore. -- Tripwire, Inc.(R) today announced Tripwire Enterprise will support Oracle(R) Database Vault to help customers assure security, decrease insider threats and meet today's stringent regulatory compliance requirements. Together, Tripwire Enterprise and Oracle Database Vault will provide companies complementary controls to help demonstrate to auditors that their change auditing environment is under lock and key.

Tripwire has chosen to enhance the security of its flagship product, Tripwire Enterprise, with Oracle Database Vault to provide superior protection for the Oracle Database driving Tripwire Enterprise. "Oracle and Tripwire are aligned in our mission to protect the enterprise from unnecessary risk, and insiders acting inappropriately are often the largest cause of security, compliance and IT service issues," said Dwayne Melancon, VP of Corporate and Business Development at Tripwire. "Tripwire Enterprise, coupled with Oracle Database Vault, will provide companies with an extra layer of protection."

Developed to protect against the "insider threat" and meet stringent compliance mandates, Oracle Database Vault provides flexible security controls that help prevent unauthorized users, including highly privileged database administrators, from accessing sensitive information. Oracle Database Vault is a component of Oracle's broad portfolio of security products and can be used in conjunction with other Oracle Database security technologies including, Oracle Label Security, Oracle Transparent Data Encryption, Oracle Virtual Private Database and Oracle Secure Backup, for even greater levels of information assurance.

"Streamlining compliance mandates and securely limiting access to sensitive data are top priorities for many organizations. Oracle Database Vault as a foundation to Tripwire Enterprise will provide essential IT controls to help deliver on these goals and protect the database from unauthorized access and change," said Vipin Samar, vice president, Database Security, Oracle.

Tripwire is a member of the Oracle PartnerNetwork.
