April 1, 2008 http://www.scmagazineus.com/You-are-spending-too-much-on-data-access-auditing/article/108561/ Industry Buzz Key operational tasks at enterprises include IT help desk and forensics activities that are virtually impossible to conduct today. These activities are challenging because doing them efficiently and effectively requires ongoing data access auditing--something that is unattainable today. This is because collecting data access details slows down file servers to unacceptable performance levels, requires additional infrastructure for storage and processing, and generates logging details that are cryptic and uncorrelated. Automated approaches can be taken to ensure efficiency and provide the burgeoning data protection needs of today's enterprise.
