IBM Security Guardium® Vulnerability Assessment

Scans data infrastructures (databases, datawarehouses and bigdata environment) to detect vulnerabilities and suggest remedial actions
Value Proposition

Problem

Organizations do not have the time and resources to manage vulnerabilities at the data layer. Manual processes to check vulnerabilities become tedious and time consuming for security operations and are risky and error-prone. As your business grows and the scope of security projects increases, you need security solutions to become more streamlined. In the era of big data where data is growing in volume, variety and velocity, security strategies should be optimized and transparent, not more complex or obscure

Solution

IBM® Security® Guardium® Vulnerability Assessment scans data infrastructures (databases, datawarehouses and bigdata environment) to detect vulnerabilities, and suggests remedial actions. The solution identifies exposures such as missing patches, weak passwords, unauthorized changes, misconfigured privileges and other vulnerabilities. Full reports are provided as well as suggestions to address all vulnerabilities. IBM Security Guardium Vulnerability Assessment also detects behavioral vulnerabilities such as account sharing, excessive administrative logins and unusual after-hours activity. It identifies threats and security holes in databases which could be exploited by intruders and hackers to gain access to sensitive data
