Re: database scanning tools

The good money is on NGSSoftware... Dave does a *ton* of research in database technologies and is really "the guy" in regard to finding vulnerabilities. It makes really good sense to have the people finding all the vulnerabilities be the same people you get your auditing tools from. Though exploits are not made "public" until the vendor has fixed the problem (or in Oracle's case, if they *ever* fix them), NGSSoftware updates their engines immediately in order to keep their customers protected.

Subject: database scanning tools


I am looking to puchase a database vulnerability scanning tool for our company. I have used the tools from NGSSoftware in the past and have been pretty happy. But I wanted to see if there were other ones that you would recommend that I take a look at.

Thnaks!
