Protect your data, detect and prevent attacks, and ensure compliance

Hackers are constantly finding new ways to attack databases, targeting insecure configurations, unpatched systems, and weakly protected data. ​They exploit trusted administrator accounts, escalate privileges, and launch SQL injection attacks. ​They even target test and development systems, servers, and backups. But with AVDF, you can stay one step ahead of these threats.

AVDF offers key elements for securing your database. ​It helps you assess your security posture and control access to sensitive data. ​With features like Data Safe, Database Security Assessment Tool, and Privilege Analysis, you can identify vulnerabilities and strengthen your defences. ​

But AVDF doesn't stop there. It also provides comprehensive database activity monitoring. ​By monitoring network database activity and collecting audit records, AVDF can detect and prevent SQL injection attempts and unauthorised activity. ​It even enforces trusted path access for applications, ensuring that only authorised users can access your database. ​

Here's what DSP customers had to say...

Rail Safety and Standards Board

“We were approached by Oracle as they requested an audit of our Oracle estate, with DSP assigned to assist us. Oracle licensing has always been complex, DSP’s in-depth knowledge and long-standing relationship as an Oracle partner helped us to assess our licensing situation, identify the areas of noncompliance or inefficiency, and recommend solutions that met our business needs. No Oracle audit is pain-free, DSP helped us to achieve full compliance, completing the audit with a focus on what’s best for RSSB and not their sales team...”
