Imperva Database Security

Imperva Database Security is an enterprise-class database protection and compliance auditing platform that shields mission-critical database engines from external cyber attacks, SQL injection exploits, unauthorized DBA actions, and internal data leakage. Engineered to provide comprehensive security without requiring costly changes to existing application architecture, Imperva Database Security inspects all SQL traffic reaching database instances, identifying abnormal database access patterns and enforcing security policies in real time.

The solution provides continuous monitoring, auditing, and vulnerability scanning across hundreds of database engines. Key capabilities include real-time SQL syntax parsing, automated database vulnerability scanning to uncover missing vendor patches and weak passwords, user rights audits that identify excessive DBA privileges, automated compliance reporting for PCI-DSS, SOX, and HIPAA, and inline blocking of unauthorized SQL statements. By analyzing queries at the SQL protocol layer, the platform accurately differentiates legitimate business operations from malicious data extraction, ensuring high-fidelity threat defense without degrading database throughput.

Imperva Database Security integrates with Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, IBM DB2, SAP HANA, PostgreSQL, MySQL, and leading SIEM platforms like Splunk and Micro Focus ArcSight. Primary enterprise use cases include securing sensitive financial transaction databases, monitoring DBA activities for audit trails, meeting strict regulatory compliance requirements, and preventing SQL injection vulnerabilities from compromising database backends. Imperva Database Security provides proven database protection and rigorous audit compliance.
