Dashboard Insight recently featured an interview with Thom VanHorn, Vice President of Global Marketing for Application Security, Inc., a database security, risk and compliance solutions provider. The article focuses on the benefits of GRC software solutions, best practices for database security management and the integration of Application Security’s DbProtect and AppDetectivePro products with the Archer SmartSuite Framework.

Article Excerpts:

Dashboard Insight: Tell us about the benefits of using DbProtect and AppDetectivePro?

Thom VanHorn: Vulnerability scanning and assessment is typically a complex and resource-intensive manual process. AppDetectivePro allows IT auditors and advisors, regardless of skill level, to automate and execute easy and repeatable database security and user rights assessments and generate compliance reports. This translates directly to significant cost and time savings.

Thom VanHorn: Our partnership with Archer is very strategic: the integrated offering, available on the Archer Exchange, will allow customers to better manage their organization’s risk by proactively identifying, tracking and managing the repair of critical vulnerabilities at the database level.
