Banyan Cloud DSPM vs DBX

Banyan Cloud DSPM is a web-based, agentless platform for protecting and governing sensitive data across cloud and on-premises database environments. It supports Oracle Database, PostgreSQL, Microsoft SQL Server, and MySQL, with hybrid deployment and cloud-database coverage. The platform evaluates exposure using data sensitivity, access configuration, and user behavior, then continuously monitors posture violations, misconfigurations, and other risks. Security teams can review database-object inventories, version history, and dependencies, and compare posture changes over time. Access and activity logs support forensic analysis and regulatory reporting. Customizable posture policies, manual finding validation, prioritized alerts, and step-by-step remediation guidance are included. Built-in mapping covers GDPR, HIPAA, CCPA, and PCI-DSS. Listed capabilities also include vulnerability assessment, activity monitoring, report downloads, dependency visualization, and service management. It complements IAM, SIEM, and other data tools without requiring agents. Pricing is on request.

DBX is a web-based security analysis tool for PostgreSQL and Supabase databases. It examines how identities can reach database objects through RLS policies, grants, functions, storage, relationships, and tenant boundaries. DBX inspects live security objects and uses a deterministic rule engine and permission graph to evaluate practical access. It groups individual weaknesses into attack paths and reports severity, confidence, and evidence. Each deterministic finding includes a proposed migration linked to the relevant object, with an expected security effect and compatibility risk. The snapshot contains catalog metadata, including schemas, policies, grants, routines, and relationships, but no database rows. DBX says its snapshot workflow requires no database password, persistent connection, agent, or production write access; scanning is designed for a dedicated least-privilege role with catalog permissions. A language model explains verified findings and drafts remediation for human review. DBX does not test application code, network controls, or client authorization logic, and it makes no compliance certification claims. Free unlimited introspection is available; Full Remediation costs $195, paid once.
