DB Networks Layer 7 Database Sensor patented technology provides insights into the database infrastructure that previously was opaque to organizations. Specifically the Layer 7 Database Sensor enables real-time situational awareness of an organizations database infrastructure through deep protocol extraction, machine learning, and behavioral analysis. The result is far more accurate alarming, rapid remediation, and reduced incident response costs.
The four primary benefits of the Layer 7 Database Sensor are:
1. Assessment of the database infrastructure through non-intrusive discovery of all databases and database applications.
2. Providing deep insights into SQL traffic including all interactions of applications (and other database clients) to their connected databases.
3. Identification of violations of database connectivity policies as required by PCI.
4. Highly accurate behavioral analysis to detect advanced database attacks in real-time
Customers often don’t know how many active databases they have, or which applications are mapped to which databases, and they also lack visibility into any rogue SQL traffic in their infrastructure that’s attacking their databases. With deep visibility into the database infrastructure and integration into their breach detection system, organizations are now able to take the necessary actions to significantly reduce their attack surface and identify attacks against their databases in real-time.
The entire IT security industry is beginning a major transformation from signature-based solutions (black lists and white lists) to highly intelligent security solutions – such as DB Networks Layer 7 Database Sensor. This transformation is being driven by the failures of signature matching to identify attacks. Nowadays attackers can easily obfuscate their attacks to be unrecognizable to signature based security systems.
DB Networks applies machine learning and behavioral analysis to intelligently combat the threat. This truly intelligent IT security product quickly marginalizes the attackers advantage. DB Networks is a pioneer leading this sea change shift toward autonomous cyber security.
