ACTON, Mass., Aug. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Lumigent, a recognized industry leader in database auditing for compliance and security, today announced that its Lumigent Audit DB 6.0 was named as a winner of the "Editor's Choice Awards" in the Auditing and Compliance Category by Penton Media's SQL Server Magazine(R).

"The 2007 Editor's Choice Awards utilize our editors' product knowledge and subject matter expertise to identify exceptional products that have been covered in the pages of SQL Server Magazine and its online newsletters, and which benefit the SQL Server Magazine reader community," said Kim Paulsen, group publisher.

"Our editors are tough, in-the-trenches critics," Paulsen continued. "They demand solid value and performance from the products they select. Editor's Choice Award winners can feel proud that the products and services they developed have earned the respect and recognition of the SQL Server Magazine editorial staff. "

Lumigent Audit DB 6.0 delivers automated controls and sustainable compliance processes for continuous auditing, incident detection, vulnerability assessments, and privileged user monitoring. Lumigent Audit DB is the industry's first and only unified solution that simplifies data auditing by supporting all three methods of data collection: transaction log reading, network capture, and native database auditing, offering enterprises options that previously were not possible. This unique capability provides the flexibility to select the technology most appropriate for specific business needs and to easily change technologies as needs evolve.

Audit DB 6.0 includes network-based real-time alerts, enhanced application user auditing, a privacy reporting module, change-ticket auditing and an enhanced workflow system. These capabilities address issues related to Sarbanes-Oxley compliance, privacy and PCI compliance, privileged user monitoring, fraud detection and database forensics.

Lumigent is the acknowledged industry leader with nearly three times the number of customer deployments as compared to its nearest competitor offering a solution that is easy to use and deploy. Audit DB differentiates itself from competitors by offering the industry's most complete audit trail with the highest visibility into the actual effect of user activity on critical data. Unlike other vendors in the space, Lumigent's software-only enterprise- architecture scales to thousands of servers while providing centralized deployment and control.

"Data security, privacy and the threat of data exposure, coupled with the growing number of compliance mandates and auditing requirements have created a critical market need for flexible database auditing and compliance solutions like Lumigent's Audit DB 6.0," said Clifford Pollan, chief executive officer of Lumigent Technologies. "We are honored that the SQL Server community recognizes the depth and breadth of Lumigent's unified solution and the value that it brings the business community."
