For Immediate Release

New Ambeo Release Improves Detection of Suspicious Database Activity for Data Security and Regulatory Compliance
Enhanced database auditing and reporting functions provide increased visibility and improved auditing of data usage

Colorado Springs, CO – April 04, 2005
Ambeo, an industry leader in database auditing solutions, today announced Version 3.1 of the Ambeo Software Suite, representing the next evolution of its award-winning software solution for database usage tracking and regulatory compliance. The new release comes at an opportune time as businesses place greater focus on security and compliance issues related to their corporate data.

"Corporate data is one of the most important and strategic assets companies have today," explained Steve Yuran, Vice President, Fiserv CCS, a provider of information management solutions for the financial services industry. "It would be irresponsible to customers, employees and stakeholders - and perhaps negligent - to not be as vigilant as one can be in ensuring the integrity and security of sensitive data. Ambeo’s newest release makes it easier to identify suspicious activity in databases, particularly at a time when more incidents of attacks or unauthorized access are attempted on sensitive corporate information, from both outside and within a company, and at a time when audit trails for regulatory compliance are becoming more critical."

In response to pressing customer needs, Ambeo created key enhancements both to the real-time monitoring capabilities and to the immensely popular reporting capabilities of its software suite.


The new reporting features include:
 Expanded report templates to help identify suspicious database activity;
 Enhanced PDF, HTML and graphic formats that improve the ability to publish and share reports about     database usage within customers' companies;
 Improved user control over report layout and content;
 Ability to schedule the unattended production of usage tracking and regulatory compliance reports; and
 A new capability to easily drill down into the details underlying a data usage report.

The new real-time data auditing and monitoring features include:
 Support for more complex filter expressions that help identify suspicious database activity in real-time;     and
 Performance enhancements that support real-time anomaly-detection against more databases     simultaneously.


"As partners to our customers, we are answering their calls to better help them address critical business challenges," explained Ken Richardson, president and chief technology officer of Ambeo. "Version 3.1 of our Software Suite not only gives a greater ability to ensure compliance and protect corporate data, but it also is more user-friendly so that customers can get the most value from their investment with us."

Ambeo supports a wide range of database environments, including Oracle, DB2/UDB, Teradata, Informix, Sybase ASE, Sybase IQ and MS SQL Server.
