Tizor and Intellitactics Form Partnership

Published: May 28, 2008

The partnership was formed to address the market need for integrated enterprise-class solutions that can address major data security challenges.

Tizor Systems, a provider of enterprise database monitoring and protection solutions and Intellitactics, a provider of appliances and software for enterprise security information and event management (SIEM), recently announced a technology alliance to deliver integrated solutions that provide a comprehensive, enterprise-class approach to data security. The partnership was formed to address the market need for integrated enterprise-class solutions that can address major data security challenges such as core-database breach detection, insider threats, data outsourcing risk, and data compliance auditing and reporting. The partnership includes solution integration as well as joint selling, marketing, and customer service efforts.

Database monitoring and protection, sometimes referred to as database activity monitoring (DAM), addresses insider misuse of enterprise data, enforces separation of duties and catches data breaches at core database servers. Security information and event management (SIEM) provides for the monitoring, analysis, and reporting of data from security devices, operating systems, and applications to support real-time threat detection, incident investigation and management activities, forensic and historical analysis of logs, and internal audit and compliance reporting.

The partnership will enable enterprise customers to protect critical data assets, control data risk, and meet a range of difficult to address compliance requirements in an integrated and cost-effective way.  The technology integration between DAM and SIEM will provide automated security incident analysis, correlation, viewing, reporting and response across the enterprise – making security management and response more efficient and effective as well as saving valuable time for security professionals.  Enterprises will now have the ability to analyze a broad range of security events while also viewing database activity on a granular level.

"Both Tizor and Intellitactics are key elements in our data governance strategy.” Stated Dan Neal, IT Security Manager of WestJet, Canada’s leading low-fare airline. “The integration of these tools will provide us with greater reporting flexibility and granularity while reducing our administrative overhead."
