Detect and mitigate SQL injection attacks with EventLog Analyzer.

SQL injection (SQLi) is a prevalent attack technique where attackers use malicious SQL queries to access sensitive business information without proper authorization. To detect and mitigate SQLi attack, you need a comprehensive network security tool that analyzes and correlates log data from your web servers and databases. EventLog Analyzer, an SQL injection attack detection and mitigation tool, can alert you to the attack and quickly mitigate it before the data leaves your network.

Learn how EventLog Analyzer serves as an SQL injection mitigation tool

Detects traces of SQL injection attacks

Protect your network from data breaches by detecting traces of SQL injection attacks through real-time monitoring of database and web server activities. EventLog Analyzer serves as an SQL injection prevention tool and runs regular audit trails on web server and database server activities. You get in-depth insights into server usage, access patterns, permission changes, activity trends, and attack attempts in the forms of graphs and reports.

EventLog Analyzer's attack reports provide information on SQL injection attack attempts detected on your IIS and Apache web servers. Our solution also comes with prebuilt alert profiles that can be configured to trigger instant alerts when such attacks are detected.

Correlates web server events

The powerful correlation engine of EventLog Analyzer is built to detect signs of suspicious activities in the network based on predefined correlation rules. The incident timeline report for every rule gives detailed insights into the sequence of events that caused the solution to trigger the correlation alert. This will give you a clear understanding of where the attack originated and how the attacker progressed through the network.

Our solution facilitates this breakdown with predefined correlation rules that are formulated to spot attack vectors in common cyberattacks, including SQLi. EventLog Analyzer's correlation rules encompass database events, web server events, Microsoft SQL Server security incidents, Oracle security incidents, IIS web server events, and Apache web server events for SQLi detection. You can configure the threshold limit and the time span of SQLi attempt logs from the same device type and name. Once the limit is reached, the solution triggers an alert.

EventLog Analyzer helps neutralize the impacts of SQL injection attacks

Lateral movement

If an attacker gains access to the network, they tend to move laterally, access database servers with system privileges, and use these permissions to enter other sensitive systems in the network. EventLog Analyzer uses its threat intelligence and correlation capabilities to analyze the behavioral patterns of specific users. If a user logs on outside of work hours, changes access permissions, and modifies or exfiltrates sensitive data, our SQLi attack mitigation tool raises an alert to drive your attention to this sequence of actions.

Additionally, our solution's integrity audit reports monitor for column integrity in database tables. If you mark sensitive columns in the table, EventLog Analyzer will raise an alert when the values in that column are altered.

Privilege escalation

Another prominent course of action undertaken by attackers in an SQL injection attack is credential stealing, which is where they obtain privileged user credentials via malicious SQL queries and impersonate these users to access critical databases. Privileged users have unrestricted access to all the critical databases and applications, including permissions for creating or removing user profiles and managing user privileges.

EventLog Analyzer's privileged user monitoring tracks the session activities of users with escalated permissions for accessing sensitive data. Our solution will spot suspicious events, such as logon failures, unauthorized logons, and access attempts at unusual times.

Unauthorized data access

If an attacker gains unrestricted access to confidential data on your SQL severs, they can tamper with the existing data by altering, adding, and deleting entries or dropping entire tables. With EventLog Analyzer, you can audit DDL and DML activities to track functional- and structural-level changes in your databases.

The exclusive audit trails on your Microsoft SQL servers and other databases provide insights into additions, deletions, or modifications to tables, views, procedures, triggers, schemata, and data. They also present the data intuitively in the form of graphical reports to help administrators perform quick forensic analysis when required.
