The Business Case for Database Security: Managing risk, simplifying compliance, and reducing the cost of securing databases
sponsored by Imperva, Inc

Databases are the most strategic asset of any organization because they store extraordinarily valuable information: customer records, financial data, and partner information. Because databases house such sensitive data, government and private industry have enacted a raft of regulations that force organizations to audit and secure their databases. With new regulations enacted every year, IT staff is saddled with a mushrooming number of compliance reporting processes.

This paper examines the database security and compliance requirements imposed on today's organizations, including:

• Monitoring access to sensitive data
• Auditing changes to financial records
• Protecting databases from attack and internal abuse
• Demonstrating compliance through clear, comprehensible reports

This paper then evaluates in financial terms the various alternatives that organizations can use to satisfy these requirements, including the SecureSphere Database Security Gateway. Finally, it presents the business case for organizations to choose SecureSphere for their database compliance and security requirements.
