Database Security for databases offers real-time protection for databases from all types of threats, external, internal, and even intra database exploits.
Database Security is ideal for servers operating in a physical or virtualized environment, or on premises.
The Database Security sensor enables the monitoring of local and network access to DBMSs in real time. The sensor operates safely in operating system (OS) user-space, and can either run on the system hosting the DBMS or on a separate dedicated system, depending on the selected configuration.
The Database Security server is a J2EE server that communicates with all the installed sensors. It can run on a dedicated physical machine or a dedicated virtual machine.
The web console is the interface in which the administrator can monitor and manage all Database Security products.
The Database Security sensor monitors access to the DBMS and sends transaction data to the Database Security server. Based on the policies defined using the Database Security Web Console, the server logs the transaction, issues an alert, and prevents access to the DBMS.
Note
Use of the terms DBMS (database management system) and database vary according to platform vendor. In general, DBMS refers to the overall database system, including the data and the infrastructure around it, but database can refer to the data tables. In this document, the terms are used interchangeably.
