In today's data-driven world, organizations face increasing challenges in protecting confidential data stored in a database and ensuring its integrity. Database auditing plays a crucial role in addressing these challenges by providing a comprehensive approach to database activity monitoring.
ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer provides database activity monitoring for Microsoft SQL, MySQL, Oracle and IBM DB2 applications. The solution helps you gain instant alerts and ready-made reports of database activity to prove compliance with stringent IT regulatory mandates.
Here's how EventLog Analyzer helps you proactively audit database activity logs
Securely collect and store the audit logs
EventLog Analyzer serves as a centralized platform for managing and monitoring database audit logs. This tool collects, consolidates, and analyzes audit data from various database platforms, providing a unified view of database activities. It enables you to monitor changes to the database server, unauthorized user activities, access to sensitive data, SQL injection attempts, and denial-of-service attacks. EventLog Analyzer compresses and encrypts log files to utilize disk space optimally and ensure protection from tampering.
Use case: Ensure compliance with PCI DSS norms by encrypting database logs.
Carry out database activity monitoring
With EventLog Analyzer's database auditing reports, you can easily monitor changes to tables, changes in user permissions, server logons, and several other security events. The solution provides numerous intuitive dashboards to monitor database activity for Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL, Oracle, and DB2.
The solution also maintains a record of user access to the database, tracking who accessed the database, the actions performed, and the time of the activity. The solution's data definition language and data manipulation language change auditing report helps monitor data definition language changes (such as create, alter, drop) and data manipulation language changes (such as select, insert, delete, and update) to database schema.
Use case: Track admin activity.
Real-time alerting on critical events
EventLog Analyzer's alerting feature notifies you of critical database events in real time through email or SMS. Choose from a range of prebuilt alerts to notify you of a critical database change, or a change in access permissions such as anomalies in user activities, unauthorized user accesses, attempted security breaches, access to confidential data, and more. With these proactive alerts, you can swiftly respond to potential threats and take necessary actions to maintain the security of your database environment.
Use case: Detect unauthorized database access from a defined IP source
Detect external threats to databases
Leverage EventLog Analyzer's capabilities to detect external threats to your databases. The powerful correlation engine can help you correlate network activity with database activity to pinpoint threats and reduce false alarms. Mitigate application security attacks with reports and real-time alerts. The database connection auditing report helps you get information about the connection established and connection terminated. You can also detect potential security risks, such as attempts to exfiltrate sensitive data, or find vulnerabilities in the application.
Use case: Detect suspicious SQL backup activity.
Detect suspicious insider activity
Protect your organization's sensitive data from malicious insiders by continuously monitoring internal threats to your databases. EventLog Analyzer audits database records for actionable insights on user actions to detect and mitigate security threats from malicious threat actors. It comes with a powerful correlation engine that can associate network events with database events to detect suspicious activity. The plethora of prebuilt correlation rules can alert you to unauthorized database access, suspicious backup activity, and more.
Use case: Get notified of multiple user actions performed on databases.
Ensure compliance with data privacy regulations
Breeze through compliance audits with integrated compliance management. Auditing enables organizations to monitor and track access to sensitive data stored in databases. By collecting, archiving, and storing logs on a database, you can leverage the power of historical event review, traceability, forensic analysis, and incident response. This proactive approach enhances overall security, facilitates compliance requirements, and enables effective mitigation of security incidents. You can generate out of the box prebuilt compliance reports to meet stringent IT regulatory mandates such as the GDPR, GLBA, FISMA, PCI DSS, SOX , CCPA, and more.

Frequently asked questions
Database activity monitoring (DAM) refers to the auditing of database activities, such as database access and modifications, in real time. By correlating network logs with database logs, DAM tools analyze and report on database activity, provide evidence for breach investigations, and alert on suspicious events. With the real-time insights offered by DAM tools, you'll be better prepared to ensure the confidentiality and integrity of your database.
Using EventLog Analyzer as your database activity monitoring tool, you can effectively monitor and audit all database activities with minimal effort.
Database auditing ensures that appropriate security measures are in place to prevent unauthorized copies of sensitive data, SQL injection, privilege abuse, account lockouts, or data breaches. It also helps spot insider threats, database anomalies, identity theft, and more. By detecting these activities promptly, organizations can take immediate action to prevent potential breaches and mitigate risks. Periodically auditing your organization's sensitive data stored on the database helps ensure all business critical data are safe and secure from the hands of intruders.
Listed below are some of the common database attacks and how EventLog Analyzer helps you mitigate them:
- SQL injection: Attackers inject malicious SQL queries to manipulate the database. EventLog Analyzer mitigates SQL injection attacks by monitoring and analyzing database logs, detecting suspicious SQL statements, unusual input patterns, and unauthorized commands.
- Privilege Escalation: Attackers gain unauthorized privileged access to a system, allowing them to view sensitive data, or compromise the system integrity. EventLog Analyzer sends real-time alerts when there are changes in user privileges or unusual activities from privileged users.
- Denial of Service(DoS): Attackers prevent the intended user from accessing the computer system or network resources. EventLog Analyzer constantly monitors for unusual network traffic to detect DoS attacks.
- Unauthorized Access: An unauthorized user gains access to a database. EventLog Analyzer keeps an eye out for failed login attempts, changes in database configuration, and helps mitigate them.
Every organization needs a database activity monitoring tool like EventLog Analyzer to proactively audit the database logs. To perform database activity monitoring, several technologies like memory scraping, network sniffing, and database audit logs are combined. Correlating database logs with these tools helps monitor and detect unauthorized access to confidential data. This also safeguards your database servers from internal and external security threats.
