Application Security, Inc. Protects Customers From Database Vulnerabilities Identified in Latest Oracle Critical Patch Update

Business Wire, May 2, 2007

NEW YORK -- Application Security, Inc. (AppSecInc) (www.appsecinc.com), today updated its database security suite, DbProtect[TM] to provide protection filters against the vulnerabilities identified in Oracle's Critical Patch Update for April 2007. Using DbProtect's activity monitoring functionality, enterprise customers can now intelligently monitor for attempts to exploit these recently identified vulnerabilities as they proactively address patch deployment within their enterprise. By implementing these filters in a timely fashion, organizations can effectively manage risk during the period it takes to deploy the recently announced Oracle CPU across their systems.

Driving these advances are DbProtect's innovative flexible filtering architecture and the efforts of Application Security, Inc.'s Team SHATTER. Their research, featured in most Oracle Critical Patch Updates (including April 2007), has created the industry's most extensive knowledge-base of database-specific security threats - the foundation upon which DbProtect is built.

Announced in February, DbProtect is acknowledged as the industry's most comprehensive database security suite. The integrated suite combines discovery, vulnerability scanning, real-time activity monitoring, auditing and optional encryption. These capabilities enable enterprises to ground security and compliance initiatives in the databases that drive their business.
