Problem/Solution

Problem

Previously, turning on C2 logging on your SQL Servers was a real challenge, because:

• It generates tons of detailed events which make it hard to find the critical information your organization needs.
• It consumes disk space very quickly and requires a manual cleanup
• It is decentralized, requiring users to visit every server in order to view the logs

Solution

KAATAN Software's Office Sentry resolves the issues above and more.

• With C2 Auditor, you can easily define what kinds of events you want to trace, preserve, report and alert on. The chosen events are then being copied into the central repository while the local copy of C2 trace is wiped to save the disk space. The events can be captured while the data is being written to the file which has long been a problem when collecting C2 events.
• Agents are not required to gather this information, only native tracing is enabled enabling organizations to preserve their critical SQL system resources. C2 Auditor has been configured to trace and report on only the most critical information as defined by the company and it's security/compliance department.

   • The predefined reports cover the most critical security activities for any organization. This information can be used to control changes, tighten internal security controls and track user activity within the databases.
