Internet Security Systems, the leading provider of security management solutions for the Internet, represented locally by ISA, an EC-Hold group company, has announced the availability of a new version of its Database Scanner for Oracle. The solution enables customers to manage the security of Oracle database servers and protect e-business systems and information. Database Scanner assists in fixing potential database security holes, checks database security settings against best practice recommendations and analyses database data and functions for Y2k compliance. Database Scanner 3.0 adds support for Oracle servers in addition to its existing support for Microsoft and Sybase servers.
"E-business requires companies to open up their networks, often placing their most sensitive and valuable digital assets at risk," says Victor Prinsloo, technical manager of ISA. "As the true foundation of e-business, financial, and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems, it is critical that organisations focus on the ongoing security management of database servers to ensure authorised access and the integrity of critical systems and information."
An integral component of the ISS security assessment platform and SAFEsuite family of security management solutions, Database Scanner is designed to actively protect databases running on Unix and Windows NT-based servers. It automatically generates a detailed security analysis in the areas of authorisation, authentication, integrity, and Year 2000 (Y2K) compliance. Database Scanner leverages built-in security policy generation and reporting functionality to automatically measure and communicate policy compliance and security vulnerabilities. In addition, it generates detailed custom reports with information required to correctly configure and secure the database servers unique to a customer`s environment. Independent of the databases it is protecting, the product is easy to install and use, and audits systems with no impact to production server environments.
