database activity monitoring (DAM)

Database Activity Monitoring(DAM) monitors databases in their activities. DAM tools record database activity and capture security policy violations.

DAM monitoring protects databases from threats and attacks by raising alarms about malicious activity and terminating existing sessions. DAM actions take place in near real-time, so that changes to databases or other threats are stopped in time.

Database Activity Monitoring is supported by various methods such as intercepting confidential data or creating log files. Regardless of the method, the data is correlated to provide an accurate picture of database activity. In addition, DAM systems provide reports for auditing that meet the compliance audits of the auditing institutions. From these reports, security-related activities can also be identified.
