Tizor’s commentary:

Tizor is pleased to have been selected as a Leader in the Forrester Wave™: Enterprise Database Auditing and Real-Time protection, particularly as one of the newer players in the space,

Tizor’s Mantra was designed to offer a unified enterprise solution. Since valuable data assets are found in file shares and mainframes as well as databases, we felt that a true enterprise solution needed to provide coverage across the data center as well as across diverse solutions/vendors and versions.

When Tizor set out to build a data auditing and protection solution, we built it from the ground up—specifically to handle core data/database auditing for large enterprises. Because Tizor Mantra’s architecture is purpose-built for data auditing, it has many advantages over repurposed solutions. These advantages include the ability to monitor/audit/analyze/alert and report on data activity across structured and unstructured data, in highly diverse data centers, at extremely high speeds –over 50,000 transactions per second, with no dropped packets. And, Tizor’s architecture is the basis for a data/database auditing solution that will continue to become even more robust and feature rich as time goes on.

Comprehensive coverage, scalability and performance are critical features, but we believe that for enterprises to realize the full benefit, they need to come wrapped in usability. Mantra provides the ease of use that allows security, compliance and IT professionals to take advantage of data auditing and protection coverage and performance in the real-world—without changing the way they do their jobs or do business.

Today’s data threat landscape is a constant reminder that every enterprise needs to know what is really happening to the valuable and sensitive data in their care. That is why Tizor invented Behavioral Fingerprinting™ technology. Behavioral Fingerprinting enables enterprises to go beyond mere monitoring of user activity to provide an understanding of what user behavior means. Is it a threat to data security? Is it against compliance policies? Could it damage the security of data systems? Behavioral Fingerprinting detects threats to data using intelligent analytics that compare current user behavior to past behavior and analyze that behavior in the context of policies that the enterprise determines.
