Use cases
Data security throughout the hybrid cloud
Data security should be a top priority and easy to implement, regardless of whether you’ve recently had a breach or you need more robust safeguards. You can identify and categorise sensitive data using Guardium Data Protection, and you can use dynamic masking, redaction, quarantining, and blocking to safeguard data in real time. It offers centralised visibility and control, allowing you to implement policies from one place, comprehend user data access, and secure both current and legacy data environments at the same time. Implement a least privileged access strategy to ensure that only those who need to know can access data.
Adaptable database tracking
Since the majority of businesses are shifting their IT infrastructure to the cloud, they need to safeguard the growing amounts of structured and unstructured data that are spread over data warehouses, public clouds, and well-known SaaS applications. The scalable architecture of Guardium Data Protection offers complete insight into all data kinds and associated data activity across all significant data repositories. Connecting Guardium to contemporary, cloud-based data environments is quick and simple with Universal Connector plug-ins, which allow organisations to monitor internal and non-sensitive data sources as well as sensitive data using Guardium agents.
Identify and address hazards more quickly
Guardium can effectively open tickets, exchange insights with other security solutions, and limit access and redact data in real time, should an organisation need to respond to attacks. Through at-a-glance risk views with click-through and drill-down tools to conduct additional research, it also offers comprehensive threat and user information. Advanced attack vectors including SQL injection, data leakage, service account misuse, denial of service, account takeover, and more are detected by AI and machine learning algorithms that underpin these perspectives.
Make compliance easier
Keeping track of what data needs to be secured, particularly in the cloud, is challenging due to increased regulatory compliance requirements and the time-consuming nature of manual audits. Guardium Data Protection’s preloaded and customisable rules, efficient audit workflows, and quick reporting all aid in addressing security and privacy regulatory compliance. Utilise pre-made templates for policies, groups, and reports to quickly satisfy a variety of compliance regulations, including the CCPA, GDPR, and PCI DSS.
