Database security problems present a major security issue. For instance, recent transaction fraud at France’s Société Générale resulted in a $7B loss, the largest such loss in history. The computer systems intrusion at TJX is estimated to cost the company $100 per customer record, resulting in a total loss of $4.5B.

Traditional database security products are limited by their design – they add security modules to the existing Native Database security or use host-based mechanisms. They lack behavior analysis, real time alert, and separation of duties, features that are essential to safeguarding information.

A new paradigm

A network-based database security solution is evolved to effectively monitor database activities to accommodate the weakness of traditional host based solutions:

• Centralized Audit: One appliance to audit many DB servers

• Security: Separation of duty, auto risk analysis, alert anomalies

• Performance: No impact to DB server’s CPU, memory, storage

• Deployment: Transparent to DB servers and network topology

Chalet Automating Database Security (ADS) not only incorporates features that allow for ease of deployment, but also pioneers an Information Intelligence Center to simplify database activities into five elements: users, SQL statements, DB objects, location, and time. This innovative approach provides a complete audit with comprehensive real-time analysis to automate database security. Additionally, Chalet ADS provides an intelligent user-friendly interface to help database administrators and auditors compile necessary information with greater efficiency and effectiveness.
