Database security software and Microsoft SQL Server performance

Products

• Information Centric Analytics

Issue/Introduction

Is Information Centric Analytics (ICA) compatible with database security products (such as IBM Guardium S-TAP) that collect, correlate, and analyze database activity?

Environment

Version : 6.x

Component : Microsoft SQL Server

Resolution

ICA is compatible with database security products provided they do not degrade console and processing job performance. If you are using such a product and the performance of ICA's RiskFabric Processing job or the Risk Fabric console are degraded, work with your DBA to determine whether there are excessive waits in SQL Server caused by a data security software agent.

NOTE: Broadcom only supports the RiskFabric relational database schema. Contact Microsoft for SQL Server support, and contact your database security vendor for assistance, as needed.
