-New Features Enable Data Discovery, Monitoring and Reporting on Activity with Specific Types of Sensitive and Private Data, Such as Credit Card and Social Security Numbers-

Maynard, Mass. – January 16, 2007 – Tizor Systems, the leading provider of enterprise data auditing and protection solutions for the data center, today announces Mantra V5 with enhanced capabilities for detecting data theft at the source. Mantra V5 is the first data auditing and protection solution with content scanning capabilities - allowing enterprises to discover, monitor and report on the activity of specific types of data, such as credit card numbers and Social Security Numbers (SSN), in databases, file servers and mainframe environments. The ability to monitor this type of data in real time is critical for enterprises with a mandate to ensure the privacy and security of sensitive data for governance initiatives and compliance with regulations, such as the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard (DSS), CA 1386/SB1950, Sarbanes-Oxley and HIPAA.

Mantra is a new class of network-based data auditing and protection solutions that provides enterprises with a unified approach to auditing databases, file systems and mainframe environments. Mantra, a high-performance solution that scales to accommodate the largest enterprise data center, utilizes patent-pending intelligent analytics to solve a broad range of data theft and data breach problems. With Mantra V5, Tizor has expanded the Mantra platform by integrating content scanning capabilities and adding several enterprise-focused features, such as database change control and expanded role support.

Mantra V5 features include:

• Integrated content scanning for discovering, monitoring and reporting on the activity of specific types of data, such as credit card numbers and SSNs;
• Change control functionality that allows enterprises to track all database changes and reconcile them with authorized change control tickets;
• Expanded role-support to enforce segregation of duties;
• Expanded support for Microsoft SQL Server including NTLM authentication and named pipes support; and,
• Enhanced network monitoring of DRDA mainframe DBMS environments.

Content scanning considerably expands the data auditing capabilities of Mantra. Traditional data auditing requires enterprises to know the location of sensitive data so that the auditing solution can watch activity to specified databases or tables. However, many organizations do not know where all their sensitive data is located. With content scanning, Mantra can not only monitor activity to specific databases and file shares, but can also identify where specific sensitive and private data is located, and then monitor, audit and report on how they are being used.

Using Mantra V5, customers can create "content-aware" data discovery policies that scan database and fileserver transactions for all critical data activity, including specific data patterns that represent sensitive and private data such as credit card numbers, to determine who is accessing the data and what they are doing with it. This content scanning feature is integrated with Tizor's advanced analytics to detect suspicious user behavior at the source, as it occurs.

Mantra V5 includes enterprise change control functionality that allows enterprises to track database changes, reconcile them with authorized change control tickets, and send alerts when unauthorized and potentially malicious database changes are detected. Mantra change control enables more effective enforcement of policies that determine how and when changes to production databases are made.

"We're excited to raise the bar in the enterprise data auditing and protection space," said Joel Rosen, president and CEO of Tizor Systems. "Mantra is already the only solution that can monitor structured and unstructured data. Now, we are bringing the ability to monitor sensitive data when you are not even sure where it is located, deployed in a completely unobtrusive manner. Such capabilities reflect the realities of today's data environments and are essential for having a fully scalable enterprise solution."

Mantra provides a range of unique customer benefits including:

• High-performance appliance - reduces the number of data auditing platforms companies need to deploy;
• Transparent solution - does not require agents for network or local data access auditing;
• No performance impact on production data systems;
• A single auditing solution monitors all critical data - structured and unstructured; and,
• More comprehensive intelligence - patent-pending technology solves a broader range of data theft and data breach problems.

Availability:
Mantra V5 will be available in Q1 of 2007.
