How to Protect Confidential Database Data from Insider Threats and Hackers?<br />

Confidential database data includes: credit card, tax ID, medical, social media, corporate, manufacturing,<br />

law enforcement, defense, homeland security and public utility data. This data is almost always stored in<br />

Cassandra, DB2, Informix, MongoDB, MariaDB, MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL, SAP Hana, SQL Server<br />

and Sybase databases. Once inside the security perimeter a Hacker or Rogue Insider can use commonly<br />

installed database utilities to steal confidential database data.<br />

Non-intrusive network sniffing can capture and analyze the normal database query and SQL activity from<br />

a network tap or proxy server with no impact on the database server. This SQL activity is very predictable.<br />

Database servers servicing 10,000 end-users typically process daily 2,000 to 10,000 unique query or<br />

SQL commands that run millions of times a day.<br />

Advanced SQL Behavorial Analysis of Database Query and SQL Activity<br />

Advanced SQL Behavioral Analysis of the database SQL activity can learn what the normal database<br />

activity is. Then from a network tap or proxy server the database query and SQL activity can be nonintrusively<br />

monitored in real-time and non-normal SQL activity immediately identified. Non-normal SQL<br />

activity from Hackers or Rogue Insiders can be detected in a few milli seconds. The Hacker or Rogue<br />

Insider database session can be immediately terminated and the Security Team notified so that<br />

confidential database data is not stolen.<br />

Advanced SQL Behavioral Analysis of the query activity can go even further and learn the maximum<br />

amount of data queried plus the IP addresses all queries were submitted from for each of the 2,000 to<br />

10,000 unique SQL queries sent to a database. This type of data protection can detect never before<br />

observed query activity, queries sent from a never observed IP address and queries sending more data<br />

to an IP address than the query has ever sent before. This allows real-time detection of Hackers and<br />

Rogue Insiders attempting to steal confidential web site database data. Once detected the security team<br />

can be notified within a few milli-seconds so that a data breach is prevented.<br />
