Ten Database Activities Enterprises Need to Monitor

Register today to read this report "Ten Database Activities Enterprises Need to Monitor" by Jeffrey Wheatman, Research Director, Gartner -- compliments of Netezza.

Databases – especially RDBMSs – are growing larger all the time, and the information they hold is increasingly sensitive and subject to compliance requirements of many different kinds. These sensitive data types include intellectual property, personally identifiable information, personal health information and financial information.

Auditors (internal and external) are asking who has access to this information and what they are doing with that access; security organizations are being called on to help provide answers. These issues raise serious security and privacy concerns, but they also present risks in other areas, including concerns about system and data availability. These concerns extend well beyond auditors. Other stakeholders, including chief information security officers and other senior-level security and risk professionals, and data and business process owners, need to know much more than they currently do about their enterprises’ database activities. For this reason, we have compiled a list of 10 critical database activities and behaviors – segmented by four sets of roles – that enterprises should be auditing now.
