I'm a system DBA for a large company. We have approx 20 SQL Servers at our central computer facility. There are many other SQL Servers throughout the enterprise.
With the advent of SOX, and just overall security awareness, it's been presented to us that we should evaluate Guardium Inc's "SQL Guard" to monitor all SQL Servers in the Enterprise. Has anyone used the product, or something similar? If so, what did you find?
Thanks,
Ben Reeder - Deere and Company SQL Server DBA

Sorry, not anywhere near SOA (Sarbanes - Oxley - Act) yet. Do we have to?

I have not heard anything about SQL Guard but I am interested in thoughts if you give it a test run. I am about to check out Lumigent's ENTEGRA product. I will try to post some feedback after I have evaluated it. Good Luck!

Sounds like a great product, I'm looking forward to testing it out on our servers. The sales rep I spoke with at the SQL Server 2005 roadshow says it won't ready for download for another 60-90 days.
