  • 1.  Sensitive tables within a Guardium Policy

    Posted Wed May 29, 2019 01:05 PM
    Hello
    I have a question related to Guardium Policy rules. One of our Policy Access Rules is looking to alert whenever a sensitive table is Selected from. The sensitive tables are stored in a Group of type Object which stores tables in two formats: tabname and %.tabname.
    We have over 60 databases being monitored by Guardium and I noticed we have a table name that is rather generic that is considered GDPR sensitive on one database, but not on another. eg. Table 'Users' is sensitive on a DB on Server 1, but not classed as sensitive on a DB on Server 2. At present, we are seeing false alerts when a (non-trusted) DB session for a user runs a Select statement against the 'Users' table on a database on Server 2.
    I don't see an option within the policy  of how I could configure the access rules to specify at either a server or a database level plus the table name which tables are sensitive.
    Just wondered if anyone else had encountered a similar issue and if/how they had somehow managed to resolve this. 
    Many thanks David

    You may have to replace the one rule having an Object group of sensitive tables into multiple rules each with a) Server Name, b) Service Name and c) Object group of tables within the specified Service Name and Server Name of the new rule.

     

    Thanks!

    Thanks Frank. That makes perfect sense.
