Singapore – Rimini Street, an end-to-end enterprise software support and innovation solutions firm, has recently unveiled the expansion of its database security services and solutions. This strategic move aims to offer more tailored, flexible, and proactive coverage for all organisations, whether currently supported by the vendor or out of vendor support.
Building on the Advanced Database Security (ADS) platform, Rimini Protect Advanced Database Security Suite (ADSS) provides enhanced zero-day protection, designed to mitigate entire categories of vulnerabilities and security weaknesses.
Expanded capabilities of this solution involve database assessment, database discovery, and custom rules, and it is also planning to include a Security Rule Software Development Kit (SDK) in 2025.
The new ADSS modules can be accessed individually or as a bundle through a subscription model offered only by Rimini Street. Said solutions and services empower organisations by mitigating risks, done through closely monitoring and proactively protecting critical databases.
According to the firm, organisations also gain greater control of their security posture at a flexible cost. Clients can then take advantage of the security team’s expertise to maximise the benefits of these new modules with Security Managed Services and Security Professional Services.
Beyond these efforts, some key benefits of ADSS include offering easy deployment and configuration capabilities, granular database monitoring and overseeing multiple database attack surface points, and lastly, preventing intrusion, data theft, and other attacks on database management systems (DBMS).
This approach allows for termination and quarantining of suspicious users from database access and includes detailed audit information and user activity for more responsive digital forensic and incident response (DFIR).
Gabe Dimeglio, group vice president and general manager of Rimini Protect, said, “As the first to market the ADS solution technology in third-party support, we have seen attempts to follow and imitate our unique, constantly advancing approach.”
“As the proven global leader of third-party support, we are held to a higher standard, which is why we continue to invest in partnerships and develop in-house talent to implement, operate, and address enterprise database security challenges,” added Dimeglio.
Dimeglio further continued, “The ability for Rimini Street to create new security rules and custom rules is going to be a true game changer for our clients’ database security. We will utilise Rimini Street’s extensive database and security knowledge and experience to create new security rules that proactively protect commercial and open-source databases from threat actors, delivering critical security and compliance capabilities not available elsewhere in the market.”
“The use cases for custom rules are limited only by your imagination. From financial transaction auditing or permissions change alerting to the blocking of specific actions and/or changes to the database or the database structure. This is a comprehensive solution that brings relevant enforcement, compliance, auditing, and reporting capabilities truly unique to the business’ needs,” he said.
“With an ever-changing threat landscape, we continue to innovate our approach to address our clients’ varied database security concerns. Whether to enhance and add to your defence strategy or to maximise the value of existing systems, Rimini Street offers peace of mind and a trusted partnership that has proven successful for top leaders, sensitive government operations and high-security organisations across the globe. We take great pride in what we do in protecting mission-critical systems and the irreplaceable data that are always under attack,” concluded Dimeglio.
