Fortinet, a provider of unified threat management (UTM) solutions, has announced new functionalities for its FortiDB database security appliances, adding monitoring and auditing capabilities to the vulnerability assessment (VA) solution introduced last year. The new tools enable 24 x 7 or scheduled-based monitoring and a complete audit trail to help organisations meet regulatory compliance such as PCI-DSS (Payment Card Industry-Data Security Standard). Combined with the existing VA tool, these new FortiDB capabilities offer a richer and more comprehensive toolset for securing corporate databases, which are increasingly the target of criminal activity for the valuable data they hold. Michael Xie, CTO and co-founder of the company, believes that data siphoning is and will continue to be a real and imminent threat for corporations of all sizes and requires solutions with breadth and depth to ensure data integrity and regulatory compliancy. The FortiDB was designed with this in mind by combining critical database security functionality into one platform that offers the greatest value to organisations of all sizes.
