Knowledge is Power

Databases store some of the most highly sensitive customer and business data in the enterprise. However, while network security has become established practice, database security has often been overlooked. To meet the growing demand for more pervasive access to database applications that expose the database to more people and applications, database administrators (DBAs) are increasingly faced with security issues that rival network security—including insider threats, and rising data breach costs for compromised or lost records. As a result, securing the database has become integral to protecting any enterprise infrastructure, with regulators stepping in to review database-specifi c security compliance. Enforcing acceptable use policies, identifying and blocking new database security threats, and complying with emerging industry and governmental regulations regarding privacy and disclosure of security practices requires sophisticated database activity monitoring (DAM) and vulnerability assessment (VA) capabilities.

Database Activity Monitoring & Auditing with FortiDB - Complete, Accurate Audit Trails

Full Database Activity Capture for Auditors

Incomplete and inaccurate information compromises both compliance and security. FortiDB captures all database activity in a security and compliance context for specific behaviors that might, for instance, indicate a SQL injection attack or inappropriate access by a privileged user.

Network security at the perimeter is not enough. Some experts say privileged users account for 78% of the threat. While there are tools that look at network traffic to try to deduce database activity, network monitoring of the database has some shortcomings in terms of capturing stored procedures, some connection types, encryption, aborted longrunning transactions, and server-only activity among other things. For instance, network sniffers cannot tell whether the stored procedure “sp_ignoreme” is deleting every transaction in an order entry table or modifying user privileges.

In contrast full monitoring with FortiDB captures all types of database activity. In order to meet the compliance requirements, businesses must implement controls that prevent erroneous data or prevent misuse of data. For these controls to be effective, they must be operational 24x7.

Continuous database monitoring:

• Continuous database monitoring or schedule-• based monitoring
• Captures all types of database activity from administration events to user activity
• Captures all changes whether the originating commands were plain SQL or stored procedures
• Captures activity irrespective of connection type (ex - standard, pooled, or console)
• Captures activity on encrypted networks without requiring bypasses
• Captures full activity, including metadata changes, privilege changes, data changes, content changes and user behavior

Behavioral and Content Analysis

FortiDB can also learn user behavior, not only in support of IPS networkbased tools like those in FortiGate, but also to detect and prevent anomalous database queries by authorized users. FortiDB learns user behavior and discovers when activities fall outside of normal behavior, including suspicious access frequency, suspicious logins, excessive reads and abnormally long sessions. By correlating database activities across multiple databases and learning what is appropriate content using probabilistic modeling, FortiDB discovers unusual or unexpected data values, and verifies that input from applications and batch jobs matches expectations.

Accurate Audit Trails

Selected by some of the world’s leading security compliance auditors, Database Auditing with FortiDB records database activity for complete and accurate audit trails. Independent audit storage provides an additional security layer for audit integrity. Alerts can be individually provided to email, paging, and control centers.

Features:

An Automated Process

Without an automated database security solution, important database changes and policy breaches could easily go unnoticed, affecting the reliability of financial data and more, e.g., automated checks on running supported versions, specified patch levels, and complying with secure configuration settings. Automation allows for more frequent assessments, broader database coverage, improved availability, and added confidence in repeatable and demonstrable policy compliance without increasing labor costs.

Insider Threat Assessment

Privileged User Assessment and Separation of Duties mitigate insider threats, assessing permissions, user passwords, structures.

Centralized Vulnerability Assessment with FortiDB - Compliance Policy Enforcement and Reporting
 

Understanding the Dynamic Security Environment While many companies implement network security as the main guard against security compromises, often the target of these attacks is the most often overlooked network asset—the database. Databases need to be scanned regularly for vulnerabilities just like other IT assets. Understanding how databases fit into an effective security policy is key to protecting some of the most business-sensitive data in the enterprise. FortiDB eases this process, automating a manual process for consistent application of database security policy, verifying that databases conform to corporate standard configurations, and even conducting Extend Penetration Testing to test for passwords commonly used within an organization.
	Keeping up with Compliance—PCI-DSS, SOX, GLBA, HIPAA New regulatory, compliance and legal mandates largely in response to headlinegrabbing security breeches and accounting scandals require businesses to not only understand database events, but also proactively implement and enforce database security policy. Selecting a compliance solution that keeps up with the latest industry and regulatory compliance requirements with periodic fully automated updates like FortiDB simplifies the process. Separation of Duties—important for all compliance standards—allows unique access privileges and rights to be assigned to different FortiDB users based on requirements and needs. FortiDB takes care of 9 of the top 12 Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS) requirements, more with FortiGate UTM Firewall protection. FortiDB also supports database compliance with risk assessment to help establish an environment of accountability as required by sections 302, 404, and 409 of the Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) act. Similarly, FortiDB pre-defined policies for commercial and investment banks simplify compliance with provisions of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA). Comprehensive security and privacy policies in FortiDB address the large regulatory burden that the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) places on organizations that deal with certain types of health-related information, including security of electronic protected health information (ePHI).
	Security Reporting—Security Management FortiDB addresses the analysis and reporting challenges in today’s complex regulatory environments. Implemented on a scalable, high-performance platform, FortiDB allows DBAs to capture security compliance information from their entire network of distributed, heterogeneous databases. Pre-defined detailed, summary, global, and trend reports can be exported to PDF, Excel, Comma Separated Values (CSV) and Tab-Delimited formats for use with third party tools. Administrators can group by a specific policy or target, e.g., policy severity or target port, and a whole host of customization options for company branded User- Defined Reports. Templates reserve space for business names and logos. FortiDB supports more effective security management with intelligent reports to assess database security posture at a glance.
