Raz-Lee Security--a provider of IBM i security, auditing, and compliance solutions--has announced the immediate availability of numerous market-unique features at no cost into its patent-pending DB2 audit trail product, AP-Journal.

Raz-Lee will be hosting a webinar about the new AP-Journal features and release on Thursday, Feb. 9, 2012, at 10 a.m. EST.

AP-Journal supports sending "mass mode" realtime Syslog alerts regarding application field-level data changes to SIEM products, for example IBM/Tivoli, RSA enVision, IBM/Q1Labs, ArcSight, GFI, etc. This support sends only Syslog messages without any additional processing and has been measured to transfer up to 2000 transactions per second to SIEM products while using less than 1% CPU.

A significant addition to monitoring changes to file data is the newly implemented support for monitoring changes to objects and members, for example in data areas and in the IFS. This support involves implementing additional journal codes such as R=Rcd, E=DA (data area), B=IFS, U=Rd (Read), F=M (member).

Additional features added to AP-Journal include support for periodic file structure changes to application files, enabling AP-Journal to continue monitoring application files across changes to file structures, as well as replaceable layouts in relatively long legacy records that use internal pointers to fields within the record.

A unique developer-oriented feature enables coding field-specific exit routines for determining, in realtime, whether or not to filter specific journal records.
