Adabas Monitoring for Security and Auditing
This approach allows monitoring of events for security and auditing. The solution allows collecting the CLOG records with the purpose of monitoring the defined security tracks, event correlation based on time windows, location, many aggregations such as accumulation, sum, average, minimum, maximum and also the flexibility to combine a mix of different models. For the events captured in the auditing tracks, the solution offers alerting capabilities like monitoring through a console, sending mails, integration with other applications, sending SMS messages, etc. As a summary of the benefits we can mention:
Monitoring of database events through the prism of security;
Monitoring of "read-only" (non-update) events in the database;
Fast fraud identification;
Proactive detection of problems;
Greater safety for the environment and for sensitive data;
Creation of special audit trails relating events from multiple sources;
Customized and automated sending of alerts.
For "auditing trails" examples we could mention:
Application "dirty-read" access identification;
Data "deletes" trigger by users in monitored "locations";
Online data "updates" out of defined time windows;
Data "updates" triggered by users not in their "native job location";
Adabas statistical accumulators, etc.
