packet inspection analysis (DPI) of network traffic. This is an important step forward protecting
confidential database data and organization information.

Advanced SQL Behavioral Analysis of Database SQL Activity Prevents Data Breaches

Advanced SQL Behavioral Analysis of 100% of the real-time database SQL packets can learn what
the normal database activity is. Now the database query and SQL activity can be non-intrusively
monitored in real-time with DPI and non-normal SQL activity immediately identified. This approach is
inexpensive to setup, has a low cost of operation and low disk space usage. Now non-normal database
activity from Hackers, Rogue Insiders or and Supply Chain Attacks can be detected in a few milli
seconds. The Security Team can be immediately notified, and the Hacker database session terminated
so that confidential database data is NOT stolen, ransomed or sold on the Dark Web.
Advanced SQL Behavioral Analysis of the query activity can go even further and learn the maximum
amount of data queried plus the IP addresses all queries were submitted from for each of the 2,000 to
10,000 unique SQL queries that run on a database server.
This type of Data Breach Prevention can detect never before observed Hacker database query activity,
queries sent from a never observed IP address and queries sending more data to an IP address than the
respective query has ever sent before. This allows real-time detection of Hackers, Rogue Insiders and
Supply Chain Attacks attempting to steal confidential database data. Now an embarrassing and costly
Data Breach may be prevented.
