Data Theft

Mantra Detects Data Breaches and Data Theft

Traditional approaches to data security simply don’t meet the requirements of today’s enterprises. Over the years, companies have invested millions in perimeter defense systems (e.g. firewalls) and application security systems (e.g. SSO, Identity Management). Today’s threat landscape requires a new data security layer with data monitoring and protection at its foundation.

Netezza's Mantra provides that layer by protecting data at the core--in the data center where sensitive data is stored and accessed. Mantra makes it easy to:

  • Discover who is accessing data--privileged users, system users, or applications.
  • Determine what users are doing with data--reading, writing, schema changes, etc.
  • Identify when and from where data is accessed--from what machine, time, etc.
  • Identify suspicious user behavior--based on an individual’s past behavior.
  • Protect data from unauthorized access, data theft and data breach.
  • Discover sensitive data such as credit cards and SSN’s in databases
  • Discover users and roles inside of databases

Policy-Driven, Network-Based Database Monitoring and Protection

Mantra is a new class of enterprise database monitoring and protection solution. A high-performance, network based appliance, it monitors both network and local data traffic, deploys quickly, is easy to use and manage, and has no performance impact on production databases

Mantra’s English-like policy language allows you to develop data protection policies quickly, without programming. Compliance policy templates, policy wizards and automated drag and drop policy creation help make Mantra the fastest time to value and easiest to use database monitoring and protection solution on the market today.

Patent-Pending Behavioral Fingerprinting

Mantra’s unique Behavioral Fingerprinting® technology automatically identifies suspicious or anomalous user behavior in real time—so you can catch data breaches or data theft as it is happening. Mantra supports multiple forms of alerting, to notify administrators or other software security programs when events have occurred, and session termination to stop data theft and misuse in its tracks.

Structured and Unstructured Data

Mantra is the only product on the market to support relational database, unstructured data on file servers and mainframe applications. This broad data support enables you to implement a unified data auditing and protection solution across the data center.

Distributed Deployment with Central Management

Mantra is an enterprise solution that can scale to support any size business. Multiple appliances can be deployed across different data centers and easily managed in either a distributed or central configuration.

Enterprise Integration

Mantra is designed to integrate with your other management and security products. Tizor events can be published to a Security Information Management product (SIM). Mantra also supports SNMP for integration with other management products. All data stored on the Mantra appliance can archived for additional forensic analysis.

Analyst Quote

"There's a large gap in understanding what users are actually doing with data and it has had significant implications for the security of data and regulatory compliance. As the only means for enterprises to know, in real-time, what users are doing with applications and data, activity auditing is an operational imperative for enterprises struggling to relieve the compliance and information theft burden."
