Security of IM Data Stored on Logging Server

[MICHAEL BAILEY]

We have a customer who would like to implement logging for IM&P 10.5.

I see we have options for using PostGRE, Oracle and third party compliance applications to accomplish this.

We're most likely to use PostGRE, when IM data is stored on the external DB, is it encrypted and if so to what level?

If anyone has any experience using any of the other DB options I would also be interested in whether data is stored securely on these.

Many thanks,

Mike.

Hi Mike

The information goes into the DB as plain text.

Whether you encrypt the data in storage, or in flight is up to you or your DB admins : http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/static/encryption-options.html
