Overall Satisfaction with IBM Guardium
We use IBM Guardium for both Data monitoring and for Vulnerability assessments. We started with a small scope of applications and have now made IBM Guardium a standard requirement for all [...] managed DB's. It is working great and is fullying integrated with our SIEM and Service Now for ticket creation and investigations.
Pros
- identifies failed logins
- Possible app issue
- monitors access to data
- identifies possible issues with CSS
Cons
- patching - ease of the process
- consistent labels in the GUI
- memory management in the appliances
- allows us to monitor critical data
- Data protection is critical in banking - IBM Guardium allows us to better protect it.
- Still too soon in our deployment process to determine the actual business impact.
reporting on how the data is being used - is very valuable to us. Also things like where the employees are accessing the data from. Who is accessing what and why. Very helpful for many items.
- identify who is accessing what data
- identify what data is being accessed, how often
- identify what data is being accessed, how often
