Product Overview

Tomium Activity Monitor for DB2 is designed for real-time auditing of DB2 activity on z/OS. It functions as a specialized monitor, capturing DB2 events and forwarding them to security information and event management (SIEM) or database activity monitoring (DAM) systems. This allows organizations to gain visibility into database operations and detect potential security threats.

The architecture involves components running within the z/OS environment, capturing DB2 events and forwarding them to external security systems. It requires a running DB2 subsystem on z/OS and network connectivity to forward events. The product integrates with z/OS security systems like RACF, ACF2, or Top Secret for authentication and access control.

It uses standard protocols for communication with SIEM and DAM solutions. Alternatives include IBM Security Guardium and Imperva Data Security. Key considerations include the impact on z/OS resources, network bandwidth, and the configuration of event filtering and data forwarding.
