Database monitoring appliance curbs leaks

Guardium unveils data-leak prevention appliance for database monitoring.

Guardium next month intends to deliver a database-monitoring appliance designed to identify suspicious activity and prevent leaks of sensitive data.

The Guardium DBLP appliance is built on Version 6.0 of the Guardium database monitoring platform. It includes a database content classification and policy engine that can discover and classify sensitive data by means of a database crawler that looks for recognizable patterns in stored data, such as credit-card and Social Security numbers.

Information tagged as “sensitive objects” can be monitored to detect suspicious activity, such as outbound traffic that falls beyond normal use. In addition, database intrusion/extrusion prevention technology built into the Guardium monitoring appliance can peremptorily block transactions that violate policy when the appliance is configured as an in-line database firewall or as a passive monitoring device. In those modes, the appliance can initiate enforcement actions such as TCP reset blocking, automatic logouts of database users, VPN shut-downs and real-time alerts.

Guardium DBLP is expected to cost $65,000.
