Oracle Database Firewall

Oracle Database Firewall is the first line of defense for databases, providing real-time monitoring of database activity on the network. Highly accurate SQL grammar-based technology blocks unauthorized transactions, helping prevent internal and external attacks from reaching the database. Oracle Database Firewall is easy to deploy, requiring no changes to existing applications or databases.

Database Firewall for Security and Compliance

Traditional network firewalls are an established technology and play an important role in protecting data centers from unauthorized access from the outside. Data center attacks, however, have grown increasingly sophisticated, leveraging porous perimeters on the inside to launch attacks on the database itself.

Examining SQL traffic and enforcing security policies on the network has emerged as an important addition to the defense-in-depth security architecture. This is specially true in heterogeneous database environments where security controls can not be enforced in the database itself. Oracle Database Firewall creates a defensive perimeter around databases, monitoring and enforcing normal application behavior, helping to prevent SQL injection attacks and attempts to access sensitive application data using unauthorized SQL commands. Oracle Database Firewall:

• Monitors and blocks SQL traffic on the network with white list, black list and exception list policies
• Protects against application bypass, SQL injection and similar threats
• Reports on database activity for SOX, PCI and other regulations, choosing from dozens of out-of-the-box reports
• Protects Oracle, MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server, IBM DB2 for Linux, Unix, and Windows, and Sybase databases
