Overall Satisfaction with IBM Security Guardium

Guardium was implemented to meet specific audit requirements of the organization. The closed system as well as reporting functionality meets the business requirements. We have over time implemented additional functionality that makes the solution bespoke for the organization. The ability to onboard MSSQL, IBM Mainframe, SAP Hana, DB2 LUW and Sybase on Solaris made it an ideal singular solution.
  • Reporting
  • Alerting and SIEM integration
  • Audit process for policies
  • Audit Process Workflows
  • Datamarts
  • External Datasource integration with Domains
  • Minimal impact on resource utilization
  • Cross Database technology support
We have Guardium implemented since version 10 and the improvement is marked in terms of usability. Developing a policy and reporting takes significant investment of time and effort to move beyond vanilla implementations.
It has identified issues that were not originally planned for and integration with SIEM from the Database has data rich information now to help with decision making.
  • McAfee Total Protection (discontinued)
We needed MSSQL database level information which McAfee DAM could only provide at instance level.
