Hedgehog vPatch protects databases in real-time against known vulnerabilities using unique virtual patching capabilities
Downloadable and Easy-to-deploy Across Multiple Databases, Without Downtime
Hedgehog vPatch is a subscription-based offering that includes two components:
Host-based software that uses agents to protect the DBMS with a set of protections (virtual patches) to detect and prevent attempted exploits of DBMS vulnerabilities.
Ongoing updates for newly discovered vulnerabilities, courtesy of Sentrigo's "Red Team" a team of security researchers who are constantly finding DBMS vulnerabilities and exploits, and devising ways of stopping them.
Hedgehog vPatch avoids the major problems that keep organizations from instituting vendor patches. It does not interfere with normal database operations, as it is: non-intrusive (it simply watches database activiy in memory, looking for the fingerprints of an attack), does not require the database to be taken down for installation, and since no changes are made to the database it will not impact applications.
