Price: $2,400 per database server CPU

Eight years after the release of Microsoft SQL 2000, we're still looking for help from bolt-on security product vendors to harden and protect critical production database servers. Sentrigo's Hedgehog Enterprise 2.2 is designed to monitor and protect against known and unknown database threats.

Installation/Configuration

A

The Hedgehog installation was quick and painless. It took approximately 30 minutes to get the basics of a single instance up and running. This included the server, used for centralized management and reporting, and one sensor running on SQL Server 2005.

Agents provide functionality that network-onlybased solutions lack. For example, they can monitor and protect against local attacks and malicious use. They also can access server memory for payload inspection; network appliances typically go inline and protect outside the box. You have to deploy agents manually or with a third-party product.
