Guardium provides the most widely-used solution for ensuring the integrity of corporate information and preventing information leaks from the data center.

Our enterprise security platform prevents unauthorized or suspicious activities by privileged insiders, potential hackers, and end-users of enterprise applications such as Oracle EBS, PeopleSoft, SAP, Business Intelligence, and in-house systems.

At the same time, our solution optimizes operational efficiency with a scalable, multi-tier architecture that automates and centralizes compliance controls across your entire application and database infrastructure.

Audit & Report

Capturing a Continuous, Fine-Grained Audit Trail
Guardium creates a continuous, fine-grained audit trail of all database activities, including the “who, what, when, where, and how” of each transaction.  Our solution contextually analyzes and filters this audit stream in real-time to provide proactive controls and deliver the specific information required by auditors.

Assess & Harden

Vulnerability, Configuration and Behavioral Assessment
Guardium’s database security assessment scans your entire database infrastructure for vulnerabilities and provides an ongoing evaluation of your database security posture, using both real-time and historical data.  The assessment provides a comprehensive library of preconfigured tests based on industry best practices, such as the DOD’s Database Security Technical Implementation Guide (STIG).

Host-Based Monitoring
Unique in the industry, S-TAPs are lightweight software probes that monitor both network and local database protocols (shared memory, named pipes, etc.) at the OS level of the database server.  S-TAPs minimize any effect on server performance by relaying all traffic to separate Guardium appliances for real-time analysis and reporting, rather than relying on the database itself to process and store log data.  S-TAPs are often preferred because they eliminate the need for dedicated hardware appliances in remote locations or available SPAN ports in your data center.  This table shows all OS platforms and versions for which S-TAPs are currently available.

Application Monitoring
Guardium identifies potential fraud by tracking activities of end-users who access critical tables via multi-tier enterprise applications rather than direct access to the database.  This is required because enterprise applications typically use an optimization mechanism called “connection pooling.” In a pooled environment, all user traffic is aggregated within a few database connections that are identified only by a generic application account name, thereby masking the identity of end-users.  We support application monitoring for all major off-the-shelf enterprise applications.  Support for other applications, including in-house applications, is provided by monitoring transactions at the application server level.  This table shows all enterprise applications for which out-of-the-box support is provided, as well as all application server platforms that are supported.
