39960: Columbus, OH – IT – DPS – Technical Specialist 4/TS4

Ohio Revised Code §1347.15 and the Governor’s Management Directive on Accessing Confidential Personal Information Maintained requires the ODPS to include a mechanism for recording or logging specific access by its employees or end users to confidential personal information. To address this requirement the ODPS has in the past procured and installed several Imperva products that allow for the automatic logging of all transactions on a database.

The implementation of Imperva monitoring on an application is an extensive process. In addition to requiring all sections within ITO to make changes to the application, database and networking, it also involves complex configuration options. The configuration of Imperva for an application determines the depth of detailed logging and also controls access to the application in the event of vulnerability.
