Access control

Guardium provides access maps as a way to conveniently show data access between database clients and database servers.

Data access by applications and tools can be categorized according to many dimensions, including what data is being accessed, how it is being accessed, or how many SQL calls are being made. In an enterprise environment, it is very important to get a good handle on database access. This requirement can stem from the need to understand and secure access to the database due to compliance initiatives and even due to the need to tune and optimize your database environment. Because there can be many databases and a very large number of database clients in enterprise environments, getting a handle on the data access paths can be difficult.

The deployment health topology and table views show the data flow relationships between systems in your environment. These views make it easy to identify problematic systems and investigate the underlying issues. Access the topology view by navigating to Manage > System View > Deployment Health Topology. Access the table view by navigating to Manage > System View > Deployment Health Table.
