ISS Database Scanner

Verdict

ISS Database Scanner is a great tool for the database administrator. It does much of the security housekeeping they should do, and mean toÄ but often fail to quite get around to on a nearly regular enough basis.

Overall Rating
5 stars out of 6

Database applications and the operating systems on which they run evolve over time. Although security is often put in place when a database is first set up, it's not always maintained and updated perfectly. Running Database Scanner periodically is a great way of ensuring that a ravening monster isn't evolving.

This package's flexible approach to security implementation is in first-rate combination with a highly informative reporting style. This latest version of Database Scanner has, as with earlier editions, a somewhat idiosyncratic interface. But happily this does little to detract from the general excellence of the product. It has real potential to improve the lot of anyone charged with maintaining database security.
