It is a stable and scalable product.""This is a stable product."

  • "There is an annual licensing fee for upgrading the device."
  • "Pricing is low and scalable to add features and volume."

    Overview

    Imperva SecureSphere Database Security:

    • Audits all access to sensitive data.
    • Alerts or blocks database attacks and unauthorized activities, in real time.
    • Detects and virtually patches database vulnerabilities.
    • Identifies excessive user rights and dormant users, and enables a complete rights review cycle.

    Trustwave DbProtect is a security platform designed for consistent monitoring and management of enterprise databases within the data center.

    Built on a centrally managed and distributed architecture, DbProtect uncovers database weaknesses. This includes configuration mistakes, identification and access control issues, missing patches, or any toxic combination of settings that could lead to escalation of privileges attacks, data leakage, denial-of-service (DoS), or unauthorized modification of data held within data stores – both relational databases and big data stores.
