San Francisco, Oracle OpenWorld '08, Sept. 22, 2008
MENTIS unveils version 6.1.1 of its data loss prevention (DLP) and compliance suite. Now supporting Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12, PeopleSoft Financials, and HR; MENTIS has enhanced its framework to include breakthrough pattern recognition, or "crawling" technology. Organizations face many challenges when addressing data loss prevention. In environments where complex enterprise applications are deployed, a critical DLP success factor is the ability to determine the location of sensitive data throughout multiple relational databases. MENTIS crawling technology performs a deep scan in both the expected areas of the database (such as employee, customer, and vendor tables), and the unexpected places (such as descriptive flexfields, other modules, and interface tables). Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) teams can then work confidently with IT to lock down data through masking, monitoring, and other intrusion prevention techniques.

"We've always been a leader, creating a clear path to data loss prevention. With MENTIS, GRC & DLP stakeholders collaborate with their technology teams and take a giant step toward compliance within days -- not weeks or months. Now, during the MENTIS implementation, customers can reduce serious risk that they didn't know they had. We move our customers from the blind spots that complex systems create, to knowing exactly where they stand and what they need to do about it," said Rajesh Parthasarathy, President & CEO, MENTISoftware.

MENTIS' preventive and detective strategy automates compliance and security across the database and application architecture. The MENTIS technical engine is innovative and flexible with products that cover production and non-production databases, applications, and custom security architectures. Crawling, masking, monitoring, and access control products work independently or can be used as a complete GRC solution. Out-of-the-box metadata, data classification, a conflict-of-interests library, and security rules allow companies to comply with changing, complex legislation within their industry, automate complex processes, and facilitate collaboration between compliance and technology groups.
