1 of 2. Anatomy of a Data Breach by Hackers

Step 1. Hacker Gains Access to an Organization's Network
How? Hacker or Rogue Insider gains access to your organization's network via Zero Day Attacks, legitimate credentials obtained from using phishing, compromised credentials, etc. Remember Equifax, Uber, Yahoo and many more that were recently hacked. Hacker now logs into production database server with stolen credentials.
Step 2. Hacker Begins to Steal Confidential Database Data.
Hacker issues the SQL query 'SELECT * FROM CUSTOMER_CREDIT_CARDS'. This query returns all customer credit card data. If the CUSTOMER_CREDIT_CARDS table contained 50 million credit cards then 50 million rows of data would be sent across the network to the Hacker.
What Sql Power Tools Would Do
Refer to the below slider 'How Data Theft is Prevented by Sql Power Tools'. Product would immediately recognize that the SQL query has NEVER before been issued for this database from our ADVANCED SQL BEHAVIORAL ANALYSIS of 100% of the query and SQL activity. Also that the SQL query was issued from a IP address that has NEVER accessed the database in the past. Finally that NO applications on this database in the past have EVER queried 50 million rows of data. Hacker theft of confidential data is DEFINITELY in progress. We would immediately a) ALERT the Security Team with the details and b) TERMINATE the HACKER session so that confidential data is not stolen.

Step 3 of 4. Advanced SQL Behavioral Analysis
Advanced SQL Behavioral Analysis on the Step 2 captured database queries and SQL. Product learns what the normal query patterns and application behaviors are with the IP address every unique query was sent from plus the maximum data sent for each unique query. Most databases have 2,000 to 20,000 unique queries that run millions of times a day. Performed at initial setup.
Step 4 of 4. Real-time Protection of Database Data From Hackers
7x24 all database queries are checked in real time against the learned query patterns. Never before observed queries, queries sent from unknown IPs or sending a never before observed amount of data are known within milliseconds. Security team will know immediately when rogue insiders or hackers have penetrated the network and are attempting to steal confidential database data.
Recap
Product protects credit card, tax ID, medical, social media, corporate, manufacturing, law enforcement, defense, homeland security and public utility database data. Sends real-time alerts when never before database queries or IP addresses are observed; or excessive database data has been sent. Terminates Hacker session immediately. View all Hacker sessions with the database queries they issued plus the data Hacker attempted to steal. Product ROI is immediate.
