Sentrigo has partnered with Hitachi Data Systems to integrate Hitachi IT Operations Analyzer version 1.2 into its Hedgehog suite of products. The integrated offering will enable IT administrators to centrally monitor database activity in order to gain visibility into databases for breach prevention and regulatory compliance.
According to Sentrigo, the integrated Sentrigo Hedgehog and Hitachi Analyzer 1.2 will enable users to: establish the controls needed to enforce security policies that protect the data; deploy virtual patches and protect/alert when vulnerabilities are exploited; provide real-time monitoring and prevention, stopping breaches before damage is done; and enforce database security compliance for PCI-DSS, Sarbanes-Oxley, GLBA, HIPPA and other regulations.
Sentrigo said that the Hitachi Analyzer 1.2 is suitable for mid-market companies that are reportedly looking for a cost-effective offering for monitoring their IT infrastructure. It enables data centre management by providing integrated monitoring of data centre servers and IP networks along with Fibre Channel (SAN) networks, LAN and storage systems.
The company said that Sentrigo’s Hedgehog Enterprise is a host-based software for real-time database monitoring, auditing and breach prevention. The integration with Hitachi Analyzer provides a real time status of the Hedgehog sensors, the databases they are monitoring and threat alerts, all from Hitachi’s unified console.
In addition, Hitachi Analyzer customers can extend their implementation with Sentrigo’s virtual patching offering, Hedgehog vPatch, and Hedgehog Identifier for tracking and auditing individual user activity accessing the database through pooled connections from applications.
