Database Security Review : Symantec Database Security 3.1
Symantec Database Security (SDS) helps alleviate the operational and technical challenges of auditing, assessing and monitoring database traffic in real time. Policies can be utilised to catch internal application and database abuse in combination with policies to monitor external attacks and malicious use.
SDS 3.1 supports Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, Sybase and IBM DB2.
Installation/Configuration (B+)
SDS is a software-based solution that monitors clear text SQL traffic off the box, which minimizes the performance hit on the database. (Additionally, you can use a standalone module, Host Collector, for monitoring local database traffic.)
The SPAN port on a switch containing the database to be monitored is the ideal location for this type of solution. Installation is straightforward and only takes a couple of minutes by entering IP address, DNS servers, time zone, and whether you want to permit SSH. It was nice to see that SSH is required for remote administration–if you select “No SSH,” you have to manage your box locally or through a serial port.
