Database Discovery and Classification

SecureSphere provides the best database discovery and data classification solution identifying data assets that need to be protected from unauthorized access and targeted attacks. An integrated Data Risk Management solution enables organizations to manage risk to sensitive data through analysis of discovered databases, classified data, and vulnerability assessment. Visibility into databases on the network, and sensitive data residing on them, enables organizations to properly scope database security and compliance initiatives, and avoid a ”scope creep” that may result in overrunning planned budgets and resources.

Discovery and Classification Capabilities

• Database Discovery identifies new servers running database systems as well as changes to existing systems
• Discovery of sensitive data enables classification of databases, schemas, objects (tables, views and synonyms), specific columns, and identifies classification changes to existing data containers
• Classification of predefined and custom data types can be used to identify any type of sensitive data
• Validation of classified data reduces false positive classification
• Visibility into data location enables scoping of database security and compliance projects
• Analysis of historical discovery scans helps organizations understand and control changes in their environment
