DBSS

Database Security Service (DBSS) provides database audit, database encryption and access control functions. It records user access to the database in real time, generates fine-grained audit reports, and sends real-time alarms for risky operations and attack behaviors. As a proxy encryption gateway, the system is deployed between the database and client applications. Any access must pass through the gateway to implement data encryption and access control.

Supported Databases

Database audit supports databases on the cloud, on-premises, or on other clouds (the network connection between the database and the audit instance must be normal). For databases on the cloud, the following types of databases are supported:
  • Relational Database Service (RDS)
  • Databases built on ECS
  • Databases built on BMS

Databases of some types and versions can be audited without using agents, as shown in Table 1.
