New Software Addresses Sophisticated Threats, User Access Control
Issues and Increasing Regulatory Challenges Surrounding Data Security in
the Cloud
CHICAGO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Trustwave today unveiled new database
security scanning and testing software that helps organizations
better protect critical data assets hosted on-site or by major cloud
service providers from advanced threats, configuration errors, access
control issues, unauthorized privilege escalation, missing patches and
more.
“Databases are the proverbial ‘bank vaults’ cybercriminals aim to crack
leveraging malware, zero-day vulnerabilities, savvy social engineering
and other sophisticated means,” said C.J. Spallitta, senior vice
president of product management at Trustwave. “As businesses continue
expanding globally, obtain new assets through acquisitions and adopt
mixed computing models to control costs, maintaining data visibility
while keeping pace with an evolving threat landscape becomes a
mountainous challenge. Trustwave helps ensure no matter where data is
housed, on-premises or offsite in a hosted cloud, it is safeguarded from
the latest threats and actions.”
Trustwave
DbProtect is a highly-scalable comprehensive database security
platform that delivers real-time visibility and protection to data
housed across an organization’s entire footprint no matter what
environment or mix of environments the data traverses or resides. The
software offers robust compliance management capabilities through
constant monitoring for unusual data behaviors indicative of a breach or
policy violations. New features in Trustwave DbProtect include:
-
Support for major cloud providers –Trustwave DbProtect allows
customers to protect big data stores across (and in between) major
cloud services including Amazon Web Services, Amazon Relational
Database Service, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform, GovCloud,
FedCloud and others supporting Windows Server. Organizations choosing
to host operations entirely in the cloud benefit by eliminating the
need to have a locally installed management console and backend
database servers. -
Powerful database discovery and agentless scanning –Trustwave
DbProtect quickly discovers all databases and associated objects,
users and enabled security features across an organization’s entire
footprint and chosen deployments including on-premises, hosted and
hybrid cloud. A unique agentless scanning feature eliminates the need
for scanner installation on each individual database in favor of a
single scanning engine that can connect and administer vulnerability
and rights management scans on thousands of databases simultaneously. -
Cybersecurity risk and compliance infraction reduction
–Trustwave DbProtect identifies data leakage, misconfigurations,
access control issues, missing patches, unauthorized data
modifications and other concerns that put organizations at risk for
breaches and associated steep fines for non-compliance. Organizations
can collect and correlate a forensic audit trail of all privileged
database activities to meet regulatory obligations effectively. -
Real-time alerting for threats and policy violations —
Organizations gain a clear picture on the state of their data security
and compliance efforts at any point in time. Once a baseline is
established, Trustwave DbProtect continuously monitors for new threats
and data policy violations alerting information technology and
security teams. A detailed analysis and ranking depending on the
severity of each instance is given allowing internal teams to
prioritize and properly plan to take appropriate corrective actions.
-
Single dashboard view and superior reporting –Trustwave
DbProtect delivers a single consolidated view of threats,
vulnerabilities, perceived risks and compliance endeavors across the
entire data environment. Using analytics, database administrators can
drill down for detailed views of each individual database or group of
databases to run reports against an established baseline charting
progress and operational efficiencies.
Trustwave DbProtect currently protects more than half a million
databases in organizations ranging from medium to large enterprises and
government institutions and offers several options for deployment
on-premises or in the cloud.
