MAYNARD, MA--(MARKET WIRE)--Aug 19, 2008 -- Tizor Systems, a leading provider of enterprise database monitoring and protection solutions, announced today that Network Products Guide, a Silicon Valley Communications publication and a world leading publication on technologies and solutions, has named Mantra a winner of the 2008 Best Products and Services Award. This respected annual award honors products and services that represent the rapidly changing needs and interests of the end-users of technology worldwide. As part of the tech-industry's leading global awards program, this year's Best Products and Services were nominated from all over the world.

Mantra enables large and mid-sized enterprises to regain control of critical data, IT budgets and personnel resources. The only purpose-built solution for high-performance database monitoring and auditing, Mantra's architecture balances technically sophisticated analytical capabilities with an intuitive user interface and easy to use policy language. Mantra's English-like policy language allows technical or non-technical users to create detailed compliance and security policies without the long learning curve typically associated with these tools. Using drag and drop policy creation along with Mantra's pre-built compliance templates, enterprises can address regulations and standards, such as SOX, GLBA, FFIEC and PCI in less time, with fewer people and at a lower total cost of ownership.

"Increased end-user awareness and ongoing advances in technology are helping shape better products and services," says Rake Narang, editor-n-chief, Network Products Guide. "Mantra is bringing improvements in automating discovery tasks that previously took months and required a highly manual effort. It quickly finds and classifies data to provide IT, security and compliance professionals with unprecedented visibility into the location, type and potential risks to data assets."

"These awards go to the best technology products every year and we are honored that Mantra has gained the Network Products Guide Reader Trust," said Prat Moghe, founder and CEO of Tizor Systems.
