CDB Software and DBI Announce Partnership to Enhance Mainframe Data Accountability
Solution to Enhance Regulatory Compliance
Tampa, FL – (May 8, 2006) - CDB Software, Inc. (CDB), a provider of innovative solutions for DB2 z/OS, and Database-Brothers, Inc. (DBI) which provides performance and accountability solutions for DB2 LUW and Oracle, today announced a strategic alliance agreement to enhance enterprise accountability. CDB/Audit, a comprehensive reporting tool for mainframe DB2 auditing, will incorporate DBI’s Patent Pending technology that tracks web access and updates to corporate database data, capturing web application End User identities and the correlating database statement activity. This alliance allows mainframe users to immediately identify not only the violating transactions, but also the web application end user and originating IP address. This capability strengthens compliance with regulations such as Sarbanes-Oxley and HIPAA by eliminating the security gap created by web applications using a connection pool to access mainframe data.
"I am very pleased with the opportunity to partner with CDB Software,” said Scott Hayes, CEO and founder of DBI. “Through our joint efforts, DB2 mainframe customers will soon be able to leverage unique, Patent Pending technology to ensure accountability of critical data”. Dick Barry, President and Chief Architect of CDB Software, Inc., comments “With this relationship in place, CDB/Audit will now be able to identify the actual end user connecting to DB2 through the various web applications and DB2Connect. This will give auditors the ability to truly track who is changing DB2 data and no longer merely the “pipe” the connection came through. Additionally, the alliance with DBI will provide the customer with a comprehensive and very powerful auditing solution for DB2 across platforms."
