Active Database Firewall (DFW) Protection Against Malicious SQL
Gain unparalleled, continuous visibility into every user, query, and administrative action across your hybrid database ecosystem. Instantly detect and prevent insider threats and unauthorized access.
Your Database Needs More Than a Network Firewall
Unfiltered SQL Injection Risk
Standard network firewalls cannot inspect SQL payloads, leaving you vulnerable to application-level attacks.
Unauthorized Command Execution
Users or applications executing DDL/DML commands outside of their policy mandates leading to data loss or integrity issues.
Slow Patching Cycles
Relying on database patching leaves security gaps open for weeks. DBHawk provides immediate virtual patching.

Policy-Driven Security and Real-Time Threat Blocking
SQL Injection Prevention (SIP)
Analyze every incoming SQL query for malicious patterns and anomalous structures, instantly blocking known and zero-day injection attempts before they reach the database.
Dynamic Whitelisting and Blacklisting
Create granular allow-lists for trusted SQL statements and block-lists for prohibited commands (e.g., dropping tables) based on user, application, or time of day.
Instant Virtual Patching
Apply immediate security rules to mitigate known database vulnerabilities without waiting for vendor patches or scheduling downtime for maintenance.
