Pete Finnigan's Oracle Security Weblog

I was looking for something on Google and came across an audit product called DB Audit 2.5. I recognised the name and the site as I had added this product to my Oracle Security tools page some time ago as version 2.0. I did notice that the DB Audit product has been updated to version 2.5 from the previous version 2.0. I have updated my security tools page and changed the link I had and also updated the version number.

This looks like an auditing interesting product. Setting up and auditing Oracle can be very complex as it is a huge area to get to grips with. I wrote a paper for Security Focus some time back called "An Introduction to simple Oracle Auditing" - A link is available on my Oracle security papers page. DB Audit 2.5 works for other database products such as Sybase, DB2, MS SQL Server as well as Oracle and it’s a centralised tool that allows access to a set of built in reports. I have not had a chance to look at this software yet so cannot recommend it BUT from viewing the website and the product details it is certainly worth a look. There are a number of players in this product space now but this tool looks quite comprehensive. There is a free trial download available and also a white paper called DB Audit white paper.
