Be sure to evaluate the database functionality of any change control product you purchase for PCI compliance

I recently evaluated Tripwire’s database functionality and found it poor compared to Solidcore’s.  Tripwire can’t track data accesses – and this is very important for PCI compliance.If you can’t track unauthorized access -- not modification, but ACCESS -- of sensitive data in real time and trigger alerts, it really isn’t a viable solution.  Also, the technology that Tripwire uses to track modifications is also antiquated.  They actually do a dump of the entire database table every time they scan to look for differences.  I leave it up to the reader to figure out whether this approach will work for tables with millions of records.by Rishi Bhargava, Product Marketing <a href="mailto:Rishi@solidcore.com">Rishi@solidcore.com</a> 10 application/xml false database PCI compliance Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 2.0.50727) 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 erinswanson 208.106.105.128 false true false false true 183020 false false true false false false true 183005 blog blogsite/SolidCore/web
