Right now, we're in the development phase for IBM Guardium Data Protection, so I don't have any recommendations about additional features and room for improvement in the solution. We're very excited to work on IBM Guardium Data Protection because we are new to the solution, and we're still exploring product features. We're very excited about integrations and use case creation, and it's only after six to eight months that I'll be able to share my recommendations in terms of additional features the solution should have. We did find some difficulty in deploying IBM Guardium Data Protection here in Pakistan because of the lack of resources.

IBM should add more database security features to Guardium. They could add user profiling, anomaly detection, and machine learning. IBM has user profiling, but they need to strengthen it. It should make sense for the users. It should remove most of the false positives. Anomaly detection would help. Let's say you had a thousand anomalies and 990 are false positives. Who will take care of this? People will simply ignore all 1,000. They need to improve a lot in this area. They're coming out with a new product called Guardium Insights. It will be able to store more data, and its algorithm will be stronger. That will probably fix all my concerns. They have yet to release the beta version.
