Sentrigo announced Repscan 4.0 which offers expanded support for cloud-based and open source database platforms, productivity enhancements for database administrators (DBAs) and added management capabilities.

Among the new platforms supported by Repscan 4.0 is Microsoft SQL Azure Database, a cloud-based relational database service built on SQL Server technologies. Sentrigo’s support for the Microsoft SQL Azure platform represents the first database vulnerability assessment solution to test against the cloud-based database.

The new version includes 100’s of tests designed for the SQL Azure environment, and has been implemented to efficiently evaluate configuration parameters relevant for securing this emerging architecture.
