** Products > Database Protection from Guardium

Guardium is the most robust solution for safeguarding the
application and database infrastructure, including activity
monitoring, auditing, change control and leak prevention.

* A Complete Solution

Guardium is an enterprise database security platform that prevents
unauthorized or suspicious activities.

It optimizes operational efficiency with a scalable, multi-tier
architecture that automates and centralizes compliance controls
across the entire application and database infrastructure.

* Database Activity Monitoring

Guardium's real-time monitoring technology uses both policy-based
controls and anomaly detection to prevent unauthorized activities
by potential hackers, privileged insiders, and end-users of
enterprise applications such as Oracle EBS, PeopleSoft, and SAP.

* Auditing and Compliance

Some organizations believe that reviewing their logs from time
to time will be sufficient to pass their audit.  But auditors
are interested in three things that can't be fully addressed by
traditional logging solutions.  They want to know that you're
actually protecting your data; they want you to monitor all
database access and prove compliance; and they want to see that
you've implemented a formal oversight process.

* Change Control

Most organizations have formal change control policies and
processes that govern how and when changes are made to production
databases. Until now, however, your IT team may not have had
effective tools for detecting when critical changes are made
outside of your change control policies and processes.

* Vulnerability Management

A core responsibility of the IT security organization is to protect
the business from internal and external threats.  But the threat
environment is constantly changing - and enterprise application
and database environments are particularly challenging to
secure because their functionality and complexity are constantly
increasing.

* Database Leak Prevention

Most information leaks, even those that occur via stolen laptops
or emailing sensitive information, originate with unauthorized
or unusual queries to critical databases.  Many organizations
have formal access policies that govern how and when sensitive
data is accessed, but lack practical solutions for detecting or
blocking activities that fall outside these policies.
