What is Guardium? #
IBM Security Guardium is a family of data security software that uncovers vulnerabilities and protects sensitive on-premises and cloud data. IBM Security Guardium prevents leaks from databases, data warehouses, file systems, and Big Data environments such as Hadoop, ensures the integrity of information and automates compliance controls across heterogeneous environments.
Why Should You Use the Guardium Connector? #
The Guardium connector provides visibility into assets that store data in your environment. You can use this visibility to:
-
ensure data is managed per your security policies
-
ensure assets are managed per your security policies
-
ingest relationships between assets and data
How Does This Connector Work? #
Lucidum executes read-only requests to the Guardium REST API and ingests only meta-data about Guardium devices. Lucidum does not retrieve any data stored on your assets.
