I have seen that the tool's installation phase has some problems regarding the versions, specifically the version of SQL. Trustwave DbProtect doesn't accept some versions of SQL. Some credentials when you are installing give some problems, but all of them did pass through the installation phase but gave a certain amount of hard work to be done during the installation phase. The aforementioned area needs to be considered for improvement. The pain points with Trustwave DbProtect were about the installation and problems with the different versions not being accepted. A more compatible version of the product with other databases and operating systems should be possible.

As the product is quite old, it needs to be migrated to more up-to-date solutions. However, this tends to take a long time and it would be very convenient if it could be done more quickly. The other main disadvantage is that the product does not have encryption or data masking, unlike other companies' versions. In the next release, I would like to see the return of support for target databases that the product has discontinued support for.

I think that they can do a lot more in terms of being able to control, or enforce policy, on a database. Right now they are really amazing when it comes to monitoring, but for control it is limited. I can see exactly what is going on, but I can't take action. This is true for the competition, as well. I would like to see more coordination for incident response. We have not been able to integrate this product with a lot of standard incident response solutions, so an open API would help in this regard. Today we have to be able to take action within seconds, and this has to be done through talking to other solutions. I think that it would also be good if they had a network-based solution because what they have right now is an endpoint-based solution. Adding this would allow them to compete better.
What is database security? Database security consists of a range of security controls, tools and practices designed to protect the database management system (DBMS). There are several security measures your organization should implement, from protecting the physical infrastructure holding the servers to securing the network and access to the data.
