SQL Guard is a network-based platform that fills key security gaps by delivering unprecedented policy-based control of intrusive access to critical enterprise databases. SQL Guard solutions automate and simplify database security, auditing, compliance (for Sarbanes-Oxley, GLBA, HIPAA and others) and identity theft prevention.

Additionally, Guardium’s David Valovcin, vice president of sales, will present in the Emerging Technologies showcase at the conference on May 9 at 3:25PM CST.

“We continue on our rapid growth path this year,” said Ram Metser, president and CEO of Guardium. “The mandate to protect critical corporate and customer information in databases is driving our business. With SQL Guard, we give enterprises the actionable knowledge required to identify and expose all database access anomalies as well as control and prevent intrusive access and the tools to improve overall security of all enterprise-wide databases.”

SQL Guard sits strategically in front of the database and continuously monitors all access activities by continuously extracting information from the network, applications and SQL/database layers within the communications stream. This database-independent approach offers exceptional advantages such as the abilities to separate duties; allow for zero impact auditing; and transparently support multi-vendor databases.
