Overall Satisfaction with IBM Guardium

I use IBM Guardium to monitor the main databases of a banking core, specifically to monitor transaction security issues. The main challenge with almost any tool in an Altamonte transactional environment is minimal intrusion into response and processing times. In the future, we plan to expand it to a distributed architecture for branch management.

Utilizo IBM Guardium para monitorear las bases principals de un core Bancario, especialmente para vigilar temas de seguridad transactional.

En El futuro se piensa extender en una arquitectura distribuida para manejo de oficinas
