ADC Insights for PeopleSoft Configure SecureSphere to Automatically
Monitor and Protect PeopleSoft Infrastructure and Data
REDWOOD SHORES, Calif.–(EMWNews)–Imperva®, the leader
in application data security, today announced that it has extended its
Imperva ADC Insights product line with PeopleSoft Insights, which
monitors and protects PeopleSoft applications and data. Imperva ADC
Insight Services enable organizations to streamline the compliance
process and meet regulatory requirements on their application
infrastructure without in-depth knowledge of the applications or
mandates.
Staffmark, one of the nation’s leading
staffing and workforce solutions providers, has developed self-service
web applications based on the PeopleSoft platform. The company selected
SecureSphere to safeguard these applications and the sensitive personal
information they process including data submitted by job applicants.
“SecureSphere is currently keeping our
PeopleSoft applications and data secure from web attacks, without
requiring us to manually create security policies. This has been a big
timesaver,” said Bradlee Harmon, Senior
PeopleSoft Systems Analyst for Staffmark. “We
are evaluating the new PeopleSoft Insights module and SecureSphere’s
database security capabilities to help us address and automate
compliance with some new SOX regulatory requirements facing us.”
ADC Insights instantly configure SecureSphere to monitor and protect
leading enterprise applications including SAP, Oracle E-Business Suite,
and now PeopleSoft. ADC Insights provide continuously updated
configuration packages that tailor SecureSphere for the compliance,
audit, and security needs of these specific business applications and
regulations. Multiple ADC Insights can be applied at the same time to
achieve extremely focused application security and compliance.
PeopleSoft Insights Deliverables
Full visibility and control of sensitive data usage in core business
applications, such as PeopleSoft, is critical for protecting the privacy
of data and for meeting regulatory requirements. However, PeopleSoft
offers a wide range of applications including CRM, HRMS, EPM, HCS, SRM,
which create a very complicated environment with thousands of database
tables. For example, the PeopleSoft HRMS database has over 5,000 tables.
Imperva PeopleSoft Insights enhance SecureSphere’s
existing monitoring and protection capabilities with
application-specific assessments, security and audit policies,
monitoring, reporting and alerting. PeopleSoft Insights include:
-
Data Structure Knowledge –Pre-packaged
definitions, information on where data is stored, which data is
sensitive, and what constitutes normal usage.
-
Targeted Assessments – Automatic
assessments for applications, databases, and operating system specific
vulnerabilities and configuration problems provide security assurance.
-
Best Practice Policies and Audit Controls –
PeopleSoft Insights can provide privacy rules for sensitive healthcare
data in PeopleSoft HRMS that may be regulated by HIPAA, or credit card
data in PeopleSoft CRM governed by the PCI DSS.
-
Pre-built Reports – To clearly
identify risks and measure compliance against regulations and/or
security policies, e.g. “list orphan users,
show all individuals using a login account.”
-
Automatic Updates – All ADC Insights
are continuously and automatically updated based on current, in-depth
security and compliance research from the Imperva ADC, as well as
changes to regulations, applications, and database platforms.
“Given the complexities associated with the
PeopleSoft environment, IT departments often struggle to secure these
applications and meet compliance requirements,”
said Amichai Shulman, CTO of Imperva and Head of the Imperva ADC. “The
PeopleSoft Insights module combines packaged intelligence and reporting
tools that eliminate the guesswork associated with protecting,
monitoring and auditing PeopleSoft applications and data.”
Pricing and Availability
ADC Insights, including PeopleSoft Insights, are currently available as
a licensed add-on module for the Imperva SecureSphere Database Security
Gateway. Pricing is based on the number of SecureSphere appliances in
use and the selected support options.
