Automatically track inappropriate and unauthorized user activity and data usage to deliver audit reports in minutes.

With Business Intelligence applications becoming ubiquitous, IT has the responsibility for enabling business users’ broad access to sensitive corporate data, while at the same time reducing the risk of fraudulent or unethical activity. In the event there is an audit, IT needs the ability to provide detailed user activity analysis. The current challenges to responding to security and compliance audits are:

• Inability to easily track who and what data is used in a fraudulent manner or violating regulatory compliance

• Manually recreating and retracing user activity is impossible or at best extremely time consuming.

• Increasing access to information exponentially increases risk to unauthorized data access.
