NEC’s 'InfoFrame Elastic Relational Store' enhances software security

TOKYO, JAPAN: NEC Corp. has announced plans to enhance IBM InfoSphere Guardium (Guardium) scale-out architecture database software through the use of NEC's "InfoFrame Elastic Relational Store" (IERS), which provides flexible scalability and high reliability for rapid data growth.

The latest IERS functions enable it to monitor unauthorized access, acquire and maintain audit trails, provide security at a level equivalent to that of Relational Database (RDB) products, and to offer audit support.

The IERS is composed of database software that is optimized for big data projects and enables flexible system enhancements by using Key Value Stores (KVS) to keep pace with increasing volumes of data. This software also provides high-speed transaction processing and SQL access, similar to that of an RDB, by leveraging unique technologies developed by NEC Laboratories America.

Guardium is an IBM software for database security that achieves real-time security by monitoring database access to detect information leaks and data tampering. Equipped with functions that use information logs to generate reports on the handling of internal controls, Guardium has developed a proven international track record as a database audit steroftware.
