Tighter SQL Security, Real-Time Audit Alerts, SQL Server Extended Events

The latest version of SQLDBManager Plus enhances its auditing capabilities with real-time audit alerts that are issued as soon as it tracks any unexpected changes in the server. The product lets users configure alarms for the audit events and receive alerts in real time, via email or SMS. It even lets users execute query actions for critical and unauthorized changes made to the SQL Server.

The comprehensive auditing system in SQLDBManager Plus provides robust reports that give insight into minute details of the SQL Server by tracking various events on multiple SQL Server instances. The pre-defined reports are augmented with additional custom reports, designed to meet specific user requirements.

  • The login audit trail report provides all captured events such as successful login, logout, and password changes on the audited SQL Server instance.
  • The access change report helps track events related to unauthorized attempts to make changes on the database, server and object levels.
  • The custom reporting capability allows users to create reports for events such as Add Role Event, DBCC Event Class, Add Member to DB Role and more.

The right combination of reports, with real-time alerts, will help database administrators identify potential internal and external threats to the security of the organization's sensitive information, sustain regulatory compliance, tighten security, minimize risk and avoid unnecessary downtime.
