I have just updated my tools page again with some more additions to the commercial section. Aaron Newman has sent me an updated list of his array of security tools for the Oracle database. The most interesting for me is the new AppRadar for Oracle due to be released in the fourth quarter of 2004. This tool is a host based intrusion protection system. It provides database specific active monitoring and protection unlike other host based and network based IDS tools. Application Security Inc have also extended their range of tools to include web and application server auditing and scanning tools.
The second person to send me details was Dale Edgar who sent details of The Data Masker which is a tool aimed at mangling or obfuscating data held in test databases so that is still real and usable by applications but is false data. This will be a very useful tool for companies to comply with the various regulations.
As with my previous post on this same subject if anyone else has anymore Oracle security specific products either free or commercial then please let me know at tools_at_petefinnigan.com
