“We see a lot of interesting challenges and threats on the horizon for our data security programs."

-- Jeff Wheatman, Research Director from Featured Analyst Firm, Gartner, Inc.

Organizations not paying sufficient attention to data security run the significant risk of having their valuable information compromised or stolen. Fallout from such a breach can include serious financial losses, regulatory penalties, or even a loss of reputation.

IT operations as well as compliance and security organizations must protect the strategic information in their databases from misuse, mistakes, insider abuse, and external threats or suffer the consequences.

Managing data security risk is more complicated than simply installing antivirus software. Applications and databases are running in complex environments with numerous dependencies and business requirements. While organizations want to protect information, they need to do it in a way that doesn’t interfere with doing business. To properly address these competing needs, the technology that has risen to the forefront is Database Activity Monitoring (DAM).
