Holistic visibility into self-managed databases is increasingly demanded by enterprises to ensure full oversight. This visibility helps organizations identify critical security vulnerabilities, enhance their security posture, and streamline compliance processes. Examples of these vulnerabilities include outdated minor versions, broad access ranges, lack of root passwords, and absent auditing. The need for monitoring solutions is highlighted by these security risks, prompting solutions that provide comprehensive monitoring and oversight of deployed databases.
"The holistic visibility helps identify critical security vulnerabilities, improve security posture, and simplify compliance," said Charlie Dai, VP and principal analyst at Forrester.
These security vulnerabilities could include outdated minor versions, broad IP access range, having databases without a root password, and having databases that don't have auditing enabled.
This capability, according to Google, is a result of several enterprises demanding support for monitoring self-managed databases to gain full oversight of all their deployed databases.
