IBM Security® Guardium Data Protection (GDP) is designed to discover and classify sensitive data from across the enterprise, provide real-time Data Activity Monitoring (DAM) and advanced user behavior analytics to help discover unusual activity around sensitive data.

IBM Security® Guardium® Vulnerability Assessment (GVA) scans data infrastructures such as databases, data warehouses and big data environments to identify and correct security vulnerabilities such as missing patches, weak passwords, excessive DBA privileges, and more.

GVA can be implemented as a stand-alone offering; but the combination of both GDP with GVA offers a convenient and powerful way to address compliance requirements and harden your hybrid cloud database environment with a single security vendor wherever your regulated or sensitive data resides.
