Rimini Street, Inc. (Nasdaq: RMNI), a global provider of end-to-end enterprise software support and innovation solutions, the leading third-party support provider for Oracle, SAP and VMware software, today announced new and expanded database security services and solutions to provide more tailored, flexible and proactive coverage for all organizations, whether currently supported by the vendor or out of vendor support.
Rimini Protect™ Advanced Database Security Suite (ADSS) builds on Advanced Database Security (ADS), a zero-day defense security solution that addresses entire categories of weaknesses and associated vulnerabilities.
ADSS currently includes:
and is planned to include:
These new ADSS modules are available individually or as a bundle via a subscription model offered only by Rimini Street. The combined strength of the solutions and services of ADSS helps mitigate risks by closely monitoring and proactively protecting critical databases. With Rimini Street, organizations gain greater control of their security posture at a flexible cost. Additionally, clients can take advantage of the security team’s expertise to maximize the benefits of these new modules with Security Managed Services and Security Professional Services.
“As the first to market the ADS solution technology in third-party support, we have seen attempts to follow and imitate our unique, constantly advancing approach,” said Gabe Dimeglio, group vice president and general manager of Rimini Protect™. “As the proven global leader of third-party support, we are held to a higher standard, which is why we continue to invest in partnerships and develop in-house talent to implement, operate and address enterprise database security challenges.”
Expansion of Advanced Database Security (ADS) into Advanced Database Security Suite (ADSS), including Exclusive Capabilities, Provides Vital Security and Compliance Capabilities
The expanded capabilities allow clients to benefit from:
Rimini Street is also the only third-party support provider that offers clients the ability to create these Custom Rules with specific governance, risk management and compliance needs, and now offers the ability to develop rules for specific situations with Security Managed Services or Security Professional Services.
“The ability for Rimini Street to create new Security Rules and Custom Rules is going to be a true game changer for our clients’ database security. We will utilize Rimini Street’s extensive database and security knowledge and experience to create new Security Rules that proactively protect commercial and Open-Source databases from threat actors, delivering critical security and compliance capabilities not available elsewhere the market. The use cases for Custom Rules are limited only by your imagination. From financial transaction auditing or permissions change alerting to the blocking of specific actions and/or changes to the database or the database structure. This is a comprehensive solution that brings relevant enforcement, compliance, auditing, and reporting capabilities truly unique to the business’ needs,” said Dimeglio.
Advanced Database Security Provides a Foundation of Proactive Protection and Active Defense
The Rimini Protect™ Advanced Database Security Suite complements and enhances existing security strategies by securing databases against active exploits, known and unknown, zero-day threats and vulnerabilities, all without modification to vendor code or vendor security patches.
Key ADSS advantages include:
For Ricoh Company, Ltd., a global leader in image processing and digital transformation solutions, selecting Rimini Street’s security services for its Oracle Database yielded real-time, zero-day vulnerability protection without extensive downtime.
Keisuke Hamanaka, deputy general manager of Process, IT and Data Management at Ricoh, explained that since deciding to move off of Oracle, the company’s priority was to maintain and secure its current systems. “We made a comparative evaluation with other companies offering similar services and concluded that Rimini Street is the only partner that can support the Japanese market with the high-quality support and protection we desire, at a price that aligns with our financial goals,” said Hamanaka.
Rimini Protect Provides Peace of Mind for IT Leaders
Rimini Protect clients leverage the same industry-leading support process and SLAs for security-related cases, including:
A client of both Rimini Protect for its Oracle databases and Rimini Support™ for Oracle EBS services, Ricoh says Rimini Street has saved the company hundreds of millions of yen in upgrade costs and staffs highly skilled support engineers who can cover major ERP and database systems – and protect them too. Hamanaka added, “In addition to the tangible benefits of partnering with Rimini Street, these services give Ricoh peace of mind knowing we have dependable security around the critical data in our Oracle Databases that back up EBS.”
“With an ever-changing threat landscape, we continue to innovate our approach to address our clients’ varied database security concerns,” said Dimeglio. “Whether to enhance and add to your defense strategy or to maximize the value of existing systems, Rimini Street offers peace of mind and a trusted partnership that has proven successful for top leaders, sensitive government operations and high-security organizations across the globe. We take great pride in what we do in protecting mission-critical systems and the irreplaceable data that are always under attack.”
