Cross-Platform Database Security
Guardium’s cross-platform solution is ideal for heterogeneous environments because it supports all major DBMS platforms and protocols running on all major operating systems. This table shows all currently supported platforms and versions.
| Supported Platform | Supported Versions |
|---|---|
| Oracle | 8i, 9i, 10g (r1, r2), 11g |
| Microsoft SQL Server | 2000, 2005, 2008 |
| IBM DB2 UDB (Windows, Linux, Unix, z/Linux) | 9.1, 9.5 |
| IBM DB2 for z/OS | 8.1, 9.1 |
| IBM DB2 UDB for iSeries (AS/400) | V5R2, V5R3, V5R4, V6R1 |
| IBM Informix | 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 |
| Sun MySQL | 4.1, 5, 5.1 |
| Sybase ASE | 12, 15 |
| Sybase IQ | 12.6 |
| Teradata | 6.01, 6.02 |
Host-Based Monitoring
Unique in the industry, S-TAPs are lightweight software probes that monitor both network and local database protocols (shared memory, named pipes, etc.) at the OS level of the database server. S-TAPs minimize any effect on server performance by relaying all traffic to separate Guardium appliances for real-time analysis and reporting, rather than relying on the database itself to process and store log data. S-TAPs are often preferred because they eliminate the need for dedicated hardware appliances in remote locations or available SPAN ports in your data center. This table shows all OS platforms and versions for which S-TAPs are currently available.
| OS Type | Version | 32-Bit & 64-Bit |
|---|---|---|
| AIX | 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 6.1 | Both |
| HP-UX | 11.00, 11.11, 11.31 | Both |
| 11.23 PA | 32-Bit | |
| 11.23 IA64 | 64-Bit | |
| Red Hat Enterprise | 2, 3, 4, 5 | Both |
| SUSE Linux | 9, 10 | Both |
| Solaris - SPARC | 6, 8, 9, 10 | Both |
| Solaris - Intel/AMD | 10 | Both |
| Tru64 | 5.1A, 5.1B | 64-Bit |
| Windows | NT | 32-Bit |
| 2000, 2003, 2008 | Both |
Application Monitoring
Guardium identifies potential fraud by tracking activities of end-users who access critical tables via multi-tier enterprise applications rather than direct access to the database. This is required because enterprise applications typically use an optimization mechanism called “connection pooling.” In a pooled environment, all user traffic is aggregated within a few database connections that are identified only by a generic application account name, thereby masking the identity of end-users. We support application monitoring for all major off-the-shelf enterprise applications. Support for other applications, including in-house applications, is provided by monitoring transactions at the application server level. This table shows all enterprise applications for which out-of-the-box support is provided, as well as all application server platforms that are supported.
