-- Extends the industry’s only comprehensive data auditing solution, supporting both structured and unstructured data environments, to legacy environments and local activity monitoring across all major vendor platforms --

MAYNARD, Mass., July 10, 2006 – Tizor, the leading provider of data activity auditing and security solutions for compliance and data theft protection in the data center, today announces general availability of Mantra™ V4, the first solution to enable enterprises to manage and evaluate their corporate compliance and data security posture for all of their critical data – whether it resides on databases, file servers or mainframe applications.

In addition to supporting all of the major database vendors, including IBM DB2 UDB, Oracle, Sybase and SQL Server on Intel platforms, Mantra now has expanded coverage that includes legacy mainframe database environments. Tizor is also announcing the integration of agent-less local auditing technology within the Mantra platform, enabling enterprises to track all privileged user activity regardless of whether that activity originates on the network or on a local-access terminal.

”Point solutions are at best partial solutions when it comes to monitoring critical or regulated data, which is spread out through both structured and unstructured repositories. Unless you deploy a data auditing solution that covers all of your data repositories you will end up with holes,” said Mounil Patel, Research Director for Information Security & Services at the Aberdeen Group. “Enterprises should look for solutions that cover all of their data stores and provide consolidated reports across the entire data center.”

Mantra offers the most comprehensive data activity auditing and protection solution in the industry today, ensuring that any enterprise can benefit from real-time data auditing without the burden of agent-based solutions or application logging. The Mantra solution is easy to configure, deploy and manage using a single, unified Tizor Management Console (TMC), and Mantra’s high-performance appliance-based enterprise architecture can scale from the smallest to the largest data center without impacting deployed applications.

Tizor’s Mantra V4 offers notable feature enhancements including:

Expanded Data Coverage
With additional mainframe support included in this release, Mantra supports virtually all major data environments including:

--DB2 5.x on AS/400

--DB2 UDB 6.x, 7.x, 8.x, 9.x on Linux, UNIX, AIX, Windows

--DB2 6.x, 7.x, 8.x on z/OS and OS/390

--Oracle 7.3, 8.0, 8i, 9i and 10g

--Sybase ASE 10.x – 12.x and Sybase IQ

--Microsoft SQL Server 6.5, 7, 2000 and 2005

--Microsoft Windows File Server

Agent-less Local Auditing
Tizor has extended Mantra’s data auditing and protection capabilities to include monitoring local-access data activity across all of the database platforms it supports. This capability is critical for environments that require privileged user activity monitoring and it allows organizations to maintain strict segregation of duties between their DBAs, and security and compliance staff.

Enhanced Reporting Capabilities
Designed to meet compliance needs, the Mantra V4 includes customizable automated report generation and distribution, and easily integrates into existing corporate workflow practices. Additionally, available report formats have been expanded to include PDF, HTML, XML, XLS and CSV.

Supporting these new features is Mantra’s high-performance, non-intrusive data monitoring architecture, which scales to meet the needs of even the largest global data centers and delivers the most sophisticated real-time analytics on the market today, including patent-pending Behavioral Fingerprinting ® technology to detect patterns of anomalous and possibly malicious data activity that could be indicators of information theft.

“Tizor has extended its leadership position as the first comprehensive data center platform for auditing critical stored data on structured, unstructured and legacy mainframe data environments,” said Prat Moghe, Founder and CEO of Tizor. “Mantra V4 was developed in direct response to requirements in our rapidly expanding global customer base, comprising financial services, retail, manufacturing and healthcare organizations.”
