ARC TECHNOLOGY

ARC is a technology (Patent Pending) by stealth that silently shields the database and monitors all the communication directed to the database in real time. It gathers adequate information to know who from where is asking what from database and acts is real time to determine what need to be given to whom. It delivers according to the security policy and maintains the audit trail of what was given to whom and when for every transaction.

• ARC can identify users sitting behind application or web
• Its protective shield can span across distributed and heterogeneous databases
• It is application and database agnostic
• It can also make distributed and heterogeneous databases to appear as one virtual database
• It can enforce heuristic policy at cell level
• It provides Central management of policy and audit for distributed database

ARC acts as a proxy TDS/TNS/UDB listener and intercepts all the communication directed to the database server; on the fly reverse engineers the SQL commands and validated them against the security policies. Database server actually responds to the modified query and the returned result set is passed on to the originator. If required, output can be encrypted.

The ARC intercept provides the basic mechanism using which caching, access control and redundancy for load balancing, hot stand by or TMR can be implemented without touching the application. ARC intercept is the basic component in all ARC products that use either client level or server level intercepts for various purposes.

ARC Technology is primarily designed for

• Real time Security Monitoring
• Centralized security monitoring of distributed databases
• Real Time Enforcement of security policy
• Application independent access control enforced centrally
• Federation of Databases in Real time
• Treat distributed heterogeneous databases as if it is one large database
• Centralized auditing and compliance reporting
