AI Tech Secure Database Security vs DSGuard

AI Tech Secure Database Security monitors database activity, identifies SAP-aware bypass patterns, and masks sensitive information. Live monitoring covers direct SQL changes, exports, privileged access, and bypass activity. The product lists 21 pre-built monitoring rules mapped to SOX, GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS, and 21 CFR Part 11. In SAP environments, database changes can be correlated with SAP T-codes and CDHDR/CDPOS change documents. Masking supports query-time dynamic protection and static masked copies for development, QA, and UAT. Listed controls include role-based policies, PII and PHI field catalogs, and a masking audit trail. Alerts include exports, bulk access, severity-based escalation, and SIEM integration readiness. Named databases are SAP HANA, Oracle, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, and Snowflake, with additional platforms through the Connector Factory. Deployment is hybrid, and audit reporting and threat detection are listed capabilities. Pricing is on request through a direct B2B sales process.

DSGuard is a self-hosted gateway that controls and audits database access between applications and databases. It applies identity-aware access rules, policies and dynamic masking, and lists PostgreSQL, Oracle Database, Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL, MariaDB through the MySQL-compatible wire protocol, MongoDB and ClickHouse. Controls include TOTP MFA, IP restrictions, role- and object-level permissions, SQL injection protection, dangerous-function blocking and rate limits. Data safeguards include full, partial and hash masking, column-level controls, response leak detection, result limits and query-result truncation. Query logs record identities, decisions and block reasons; Database Activity Monitoring adds native database audit, including activity that bypasses the gateway. Integrations include Prometheus metrics, Grafana dashboards and centralized logs for a SIEM. The site describes deployment on premises, in private or public cloud, or in hybrid environments, and lists AWS, Azure and GCP compatibility. The free Community edition is self-managed and has no support entitlement; Professional and Enterprise plans have annual terms, with prices not listed.
