Executive Summary

Microsoft's SQL Server native auditing solution is basic, but it's free. It offers a good level of support for monitoring user and DBA activity, but lags in policy management, reporting, monitoring and alerting, and analytics. Although Microsoft has improved database security and auditing features in SQL Server 2005, it is still behind Oracle on a feature-by-feature comparison. Microsoft's approach to advanced auditing is to let partners address the gaps, and Forrester does not see this position changing any time soon. But Microsoft remains committed to improving database security with every new release of SQL Server, with the ultimate goal of making SQL Server completely self-securing from all types of threats and vulnerabilities.
