CryptoBind Database Activity Monitoring (DAM) gives organizations real-time visibility into database activity, with threat detection and audit support for regulated industries, government systems, BFSI, and Aadhaar ecosystems. It records SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE operations, rebuilds and normalizes queries, and links application identities with database users. The system can flag access to sensitive data such as Aadhaar, PAN, PII, and PCI fields, while monitoring DBA and superuser actions, schema changes, privilege grants, account changes, and escalation. Alerts can be rule-based or behavioral, with anomaly checks for activity volume, frequency, and time of day and severity from Low to Critical. The maker describes signed, append-only audit logs, hashing, WORM storage support, and tampering alerts. Listed databases include PostgreSQL, Oracle, MySQL, and Microsoft SQL Server; MongoDB is an optional add-on, while DB2 is on the roadmap. Deployment options include on-premises, private or government cloud, and air-gapped environments. Web dashboards, agents, a central server, and REST and gRPC APIs are described. Pricing is on request.
