Data activity monitoring

Information about key security concepts used in Guardium data activity monitoring.

Policies and rules
A security policy contains an ordered set of rules to be applied to the observed traffic between database clients and servers. Each rule can apply to a request from a client, or to a response from a server. Multiple policies can be defined and multiple policies can be installed on a Guardium system at the same time.
Workflows
Workflows consolidate several database activity monitoring tasks, including asset discovery, vulnerability assessment and hardening, database activity monitoring and audit reporting, report distribution, sign-off by key stakeholders, and escalations.
Auditing
Guardium provides value change auditing features for tracking changes to values in database tables.
Classification
Guardium supports the discovery and classification of sensitive data to allow the creation and enforcement of effective access policies.
