Netezza Teams with NetIQ to Provide a Comprehensive Enterprise Data Compliance & Security Solution

NetIQ`s SIEM Solution Leverages Netezza Mantra Technology to Extend the
Enterprise`s Visibility, Governance and Trust from the Perimeter to the
Datacenter
MARLBOROUGH, Mass.--(Business Wire)--
Netezza Corporation (NYSE: NZ), the global leader in data warehouse and analytic
appliances, today announced an OEM relationship with NetIQ, a Security Incident
and Event Management (SIEM) market leader, that enhances NetIQ`s end-to-end
enterprise data compliance and security solution. As part of this relationship,
NetIQ has chosen the Netezza Mantra technology to provide database activity
monitoring and auditing for its NetIQ Change Guardian for Databases offering. By
integrating Mantra database activity monitoring (DAM) appliance-based technology
within NetIQ`s SIEM solution, NetIQ can now provide enterprise customers
unprecedentedvisibility and data protection.

"Netezza Mantra has been consistently recognized as an industry leading solution
in terms of scalability and ease of use in the data auditing and activity
monitoring space. This OEM relationship will extend the reach of Mantra as we
continue to broaden the data auditing market," said Prat Moghe, general manager,
Data Compliance, Netezza. "Compliance and security officers have historically
struggled to gain end-to-end visibility of compliance and risk related activity
across the perimeter to the datacenter. This integrated offering from NetIQ
addresses this critical business requirement and provides a holistic solution
that also addresses the data compliance and security needs of an enterprise."

According to Gartner, it is a best practice to "Utilize SIEM, DAM and other
monitoring controls to address audit requirements for tracking activity
(especially for access to regulated data types such as PII, PHI and financial
information.)" 1

The NetIQ Change Guardian family incorporates Netezza Mantra technology to
deliver real-time activity and change monitoring across relational databases
without impacting database performance or operation. NetIQ Change Guardian for
Databases:

* Audits access to databases and identifies potentially suspicious behavior,
enabling faster, more effective, automated responses.
* Monitors and alerts on suspicious activity undertaken by privileged users.
* Alerts on changes made to the database, providing protection from insiders who
may purposefully weaken security or inadvertently damage a business-critical
database.
* Auto-recognizes sensitive information, helping to ensure that critical data is
identified and properly protected.
* Presents information to NetIQ Security Manager and other SIEM solutions to
correlate all events that impact data security.

"Security teams are demanding solutions that protect beyond the infrastructure.
The industry needs a solution that also helps secure corporate data by detecting
abnormal behavior before it results in significant breaches," commented Geoff
Webb, senior manager of Product Marketing at NetIQ. "The solution uniquely
fulfills both requirements, providing an extension to the security and event
correlation that customers need to identify threats and minimize their impact."
