Strategic and confidential information in a company database should be protected from things like misuse, insider abuse, mistakes and external threats and Database Firewalls can mitigate a lot of the internal risks and external threats associated with holding this valued information. Clients focusing on compliance have a specific interest in this product as it completes the data security and compliance lifecycle.

Companies can control access to their databases and protect against fraud and abuse and have visibility into database activity. Independent audit trails can provide companies with detailed information on the ‘Who, What, Where, When and How’ on all sensitive data, such as financial documents, and so the integrity of this data is guaranteed.
