[Tool] DB Audit 2.5 [By] SoftTree Technologies Inc [Description] 
I just came across this product via a thread on the Oracle-l mailing list. This is a database auditing solution that can be used not only on Oracle but also Sybase, DB2 and MS SQL Server. The tool allows the DBA or security auditor to monitor all changes and access made to the database. Some of the key features include a central repository for monitoring multiple databases. This fan improve security by isolating the audit trails and it can also provide cost benefits by centralizing the audit data. The tool includes a GUI interface and also central reports. It can audit traffic that cannot be audited natively. DB Audit 2.0 also provides real time alerting. There seem to be a growing number of tools in this space currently and this is an exciting and useful tool space. Although I didn't find it detailed in my cursory look, I suspect that this tool, like others simply analyses the network traffic to and from the database. This sounds a very interesting tool though. UPDATED 06-Jun-2005 I have just updated the link on this tool and also the version number. The product has been updated to version 2.5. I have not tested it but it is available as a free trial download. It seems worth a look if you are looking for an audit solution.
