Leading South African IT consultants, RDB Consulting announced to have partnered with Oracle to offer database security. After working closely with Oracle for such a long time brining Oracle’s database security products into RDB portfolio was a natural extension.
Having this database knowledge, experience and expertise is vital for adequate database security and for the running and maintenance of security products. RDB now is able to offer a full spectrum of services around the database including security providing its clients with access to a complete solution from a single vendor.
RDB Consulting believes that this is a more financially viable option that does not require patching for a variety of products, and offers a single point of contact for the client for everything related to the database.
“Database security is an area that has been neglected both internationally and within the South African market. One only has to look at the Wikileaks scandal to see just how vulnerable the database can be. It is vital to have the right checks and balances in place to secure the database, because unscrupulous people will always exploit any vulnerability for their own gain,” says Jaroslav Cerny, CEO at RDB Consulting.
Oracle’s Database Security suite delivers a comprehensive portfolio of security solutions, combining tools such as: database activity monitoring and blocking; privileged user and multi-factor access control; data classification; transparent data encryption; consolidated auditing and reporting; secure configuration management; and data masking, to ensure data privacy, protect against insider threats, and enable regulatory compliance.
Danny Ilic, Enterprise Information Security Strategist at Oracle, said, “By partnering with RDB Consulting we are bridging this technology with local resources, allowing us to grow our market strategically through our partners. As a Platinum Oracle Partner, RDB Consulting was a natural choice for this expansion. They have the experience, client base and commitment to excellence to be able to offer Oracle Best Practice from business right through to IT.”
RDB Consulting will incorporate this new offering through a twofold approach of both consulting services and software licensing. The consulting phase will involve investigations and a health check on existing database security as well as a comprehensive report, which will recommend the ideal products to address vulnerabilities identified during the process.
