Symantec has announced a new release of Symantec Database Security, a key component of the company’s Security 2.0 vision.

Symantec Database Security 3.0 claims to provide several new capabilities to help companies prevent the loss of sensitive information or intellectual property stored in databases and comply with the increasing number of data protection regulations globally. It incorporates a new Intruder Identification component, built-in heuristic learning capabilities, real-time, transaction policy alerts and integration with Symantec Security Information Manager.
