DB Audit and Security 360

What DB Audit and Security 360 is

DB Audit and Security 360 is an on-premises database auditing and security product from SoftTree Technologies, Inc. It tracks security, access, usage, and data creation, changes, or deletion across Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, Sybase, MySQL, and IBM DB2. Its built-in audit methods and configurable monitoring cover database operations and data changes, with controls for multiple database systems managed from one location. The vendor says system-level and data-change auditing can run without changes to existing applications. It can email real-time alerts about changes to sensitive data, while audit records can be kept in local or central repositories and analyzed for email or SNMP alerts. Connections can use native database drivers, ODBC, JDBC, or OLEDB/ADO. The web console supports XML, CSV, and TXT report exports and can be customized or integrated with third-party applications. The vendor describes the product as supporting Sarbanes-Oxley and PCI auditing. It lists a 30-day trial and paid licenses, including $499, paid once for one database server instance. The listed last version is 5.0.1.20, released March 5, 2018.

Who it suits

It suits organizations that need to audit activity across supported database systems from a central location, including teams seeking alerts about sensitive-data changes.
