Our data is under attack. That was made readily apparent as details emerge following the indictment of several individuals in what is being called the biggest case of credit card data theft ever. How did they do it? It happened because of poor security defenses within the networks of the businesses that got hacked. These companies failed to implement strong defenses against data extraction --- data that contained millions of customer credit and debit card numbers. What's so appalling is that there are security products out there engineered to thwart the types of security breaches that were used in this crime. Here are six products we have looked at in the Test Center that these compromised networks could have used.
Guardium 7.0 Database And Security Management Appliance
Guardium's Database Security and Management Appliance protects against inside and external threats. Guardium's solution prevents database compromise by offering real-time monitoring and alerting, including the monitoring of privileged user accounts such as those of database administrators. SQL injection attacks are stopped by anomaly detection.
In the event of a detected attack or data compromise, such as an SQL injection, Guardium 7.0 Database and Security Management Appliance will provide detailed monitoring of attacks, pinpointing what IP was used, what was targeted, which tables were accessed and which application was involved. Information on the users who may have been compromised is provided as well. There is also the ability to prevent unauthorized access to sensitive data and to mask sensitive information in tables. This solution features templates and high-level, yet easy-to-work-with, best practice reports for PCI, SOX, OMB and data privacy.
