Defensia Database Security vs Onam Database Security

Defensia Database Security detects database ports exposed to the network and monitors authentication failures that may indicate brute-force attacks. Its agent monitors authentication logs for MySQL/MariaDB, PostgreSQL and MongoDB, and checks Redis port exposure. At startup, it checks ports 3306, 5432, 27017 and 6379; a port bound to 0.0.0.0 creates a dashboard advisory. Repeated authentication failures can trigger IP blocking through iptables or nftables. The agent runs as a systemd service and detects MySQL, PostgreSQL and MongoDB log files automatically. It requires Linux kernel 4.x or newer, root or sudo access, and HTTPS access to the Defensia panel. Deployment options include Docker, Docker Swarm and Kubernetes, with a Helm chart for Kubernetes. The dashboard shows attack timelines, blocked IPs and port advisories. Free is free, with one server, 2,000 events/month, three days of log retention and monitor mode only. Pro is €9 a month, with unlimited servers and events and 90 days of retention.

Onam Database Security evaluates managed and self-hosted databases against cloud posture rules and CIS engine-level benchmarks. It discovers resources across AWS, Azure, GCP, OCI, IBM Cloud, Alibaba, and Kubernetes through read-only APIs. Listed database services include RDS, Aurora, Azure SQL, Cloud SQL, DynamoDB, Redshift, and OCI DB Systems. Checks cover encryption, public accessibility, backup retention, deletion protection, audit configuration, snapshot exposure, and privileged database grants. Findings combine data-classification and identity context to identify sensitive databases and show which principals can access them. Cloud posture checks use cloud control-plane APIs; optional engine-level evaluation uses a read-only database account provisioned by the customer. Onam maps findings to 78 frameworks and offers PDF and CSV auditor exports with linked evidence. Free and Pro are SaaS plans; Enterprise also offers on-premises deployment. Free is limited to one cloud account and up to 500 resources. Pro is $22 a month, billed per resource per month, with a platform fee plus $22 per resource. A 14-day trial is listed.
