IBM Guardium, an Agile way to Monitor and Protect "Crown Jewels"
What do you like best about the product?
It comes in two flavors. One is DAM and other is FAM. DAM is Database Activity Monitoring while FAM is File Activity Monitoring. DAM is best suitable for structured data, while FAM is for unstructured data.
Its Vulnerability Assessment tool that gives the vulnerabilities against any compliance requirement. Real Time monitoring on who, when what basis of the added databases.
Real Time Blocking on the basis of unauthorized access made to the database.
Central management of all of your database security requirement. We can push the policies from an Aggregator/Central Manager across all the Collectors.
Easy to deploy.
Database addition under Guardium foot print is done by using a light weight agent installed on DB Server that has negligible performance impact.
No changes are required in Database while installing the agent.
Guardium comes with lots of built in rules and policies. We can have a leverage of using them and these policies and rules can cover most part of our Database Monitoring and Security requirements.
Guardium Licenses are perpetual only the support services needs to be renewed on yearly basis.

Guardium Licenses are perpetual only the support services needs to be renewed on yearly basis.
What do you dislike about the product?
Guardium Licensing is a bit tricky. We have to understand that the license is based on per server (IP Address) basis. Lets say if you have one server (a physical or virtual) and there are three databases running on this server, your Guardium license will be ONE (01) only. And if you have three distinct servers with separate IP(s) and these servers are hosting 10 databases in each, your Guardium License will be three.
An utmost care must be taken while selecting the agent to be installed on the server.
Ddeployment should be done once all the requirements are well understood by the client. If, initially, all the requirements couldn't be understood and the solution is deployed with some gaps, o can create problems in future. Secondly, the specifications of all the components should be allocated as per recommendations so as to avoid any performance hit.
It is a costly solution.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Real time Database monitoring.
Real Time blocking of the unauthorized attempts on Databases. This is achieved by carefully crafting the access policies on databases.
We are now able to have a record of even a change made to a very granular level. We can see that changes have been done in a row, column or cell of a database table and who made these changed at what time. If these assesses and changes are not legitimate, than we can terminate the session of unauthorized user within no time.
This gave us a peace of mind now that an agile protection tool is in place to safeguard our "Crown Jewels".

What do you dislike about the product?
IBM Security Guardium is not appropriate for monitoring applications traffic, because when you want to monitor application traffic, you cannot define the end user easily, and the SQL activities are difficult to interpret the jobs on the application.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Guardium is able to monitor user activity to detect and respond to potential threats in real time. Using Guardium helps to identify and protect against internal and external threats through monitoring and auditing, vulnerability management, data transformation, real-time security policies, and intelligent reporting.
