DB2 Auditing for z/OS

NEON Enterprise Software developed and maintains technology for monitoring and auditing activity of DB2 on z/OS. NEON’s Database Activity MonitorTM technology was purpose-built for auditing, and is optimized to collect all the data required by auditors using the fewest system resources possible.



Unlike other DB2 for z/OS auditing solutions, NEON's technology:

•   Never uses DB2 Audit Trace
•   Does not require any schema changes
•   Never requires a rebind of DB2 plans
•   Offloads processing to zIIP specialty processors when available
•   Streams audit data in real-time with no intermediate storage of data on the mainframe
