Oracle Database Firewall
Oracle Database Firewall
First Line of Defense
• Monitor database activity on network and log/block unauthorized
database access
• Highly accurate SQL grammar based analysis to enforce normal
activity
• Built-in and custom compliance reports for SOX, PCI, and other
regulations
Challenges of a Database Firewall
• Building accurate policy profiles of good application
behavior with changes over time
• Performance to your application as the number of
transactions increase over the network
• Needing to throw more hardware on the network to
handle my workload for scalability
Security Model and Policy
Enforcement
• Policy Enforcement
• Performance and scalability since millions of statements can be simplified into a small
number of SQL characteristics or “clusters”
• High level of accuracy
• Flexible enforcement: block, substitute, alert and pass, log only
• Policies are easily configured using:
• White List
• Can be automatically generated for any application
• “Allowed” behavior can be defined for any user or application
• Transactions found not to match the policy instantly rejected
• Black List
• Stop unwanted transactions, users or schema access
• Prevent privilege or role escalation and illegal access to sensitive data by using
factors
• Selectively block any part of transaction in context to your business and security
goals
Heterogeneous Database Support
• Oracle 8i, 9i, 10g, 11g
• MS-SQL 2000, 2005, 2008
• Sybase 12.5.3 to 15
• SQL Anywhere v10
The Basic Components
• Creates security policies
• Runs on Windows desktop
• Reports, archives repository
• Firewall mgmt, policy mgmt
• Alerts, integration
• Reads SQL traffic on the network
• Logs/Blocks unauthorized traffic
• Monitors access
Database Firewall
Database Firewall
Management Server
Policy Analyzer
Database Firewall
(HA Mode)
Remote/Local Monitor
• Capture network traffic on DB
host and forwards it to DBFW
• Capture non-network traffic on
DB host and sends it to the
DBFW
Oracle Database Firewall
Flexible Deployment Model
• Deploy on customer’s existing or new hardware:
• Runs Oracle Enterprise Linux base operating system
• Firewall blocking mode requires certified NIC card
• Scales vertically
• Add CPU, disk, and memory to the servers versus adding
more and more appliances
• Database Firewall and Database Firewall
Management Server can co-reside
Oracle Database Firewall
Out of Band Deployment Mode
• Monitor Only Mode – No Blocking
• Also known as “SPAN” or “Span port”
or “Mirrored” or “Tap”
• SQL logging and reporting only
• Easy for demo / POC or lab test
• Easy to deploy, no risk of impacting
databases or applications
Oracle Database Firewall
In-Line Deployment Modes
• Blocking and Monitoring
• SQL traffic is inspected and verified against policy
• Also known as a “Bridge” or “transparent bridge”
• Sometimes only option if out-of-band ports are not available
Reporting
• Database Firewall log data
consolidated into reporting
database
• Over 130 built in reports that
can be modified/customized
• Entitlement report for
database attestation
• Activity and privileged
user reports
• Supports demonstrating
PCI, SOX, HIPAA, etc.
Accurate, Scalable, Flexible
• Most accurate
Zero false positives and the competition can never
get the policy created
• Most scalable
Scales easily by adding more CPU’s, more disk,
more memory to accommodate growth.
• Most flexible
Software and can be deployed onto any server that
supports OEL. These platforms can be servers,
blades or virtual platforms.
Fast, Transparent, Open
• Fastest
You get more transactions through put per second
that an equivalent competitive solution
• Easiest to deploy
Ability to understand the SQL language and
categorize 10’s of thousands of transactions, results
in simple policy configuration
• Open Reporting
Documented database tables enables customers to
use virtually any reporting tool to extract forensic or
summary data.
