About

HexaTier offers a comprehensive, unified database security and compliance solution for multiple platforms, both in and out of the cloud. Its patented reverse-proxy technology secures client databases against insider and outsider threats in environments including database as a service (DBaaS); private, public, and hybrid cloud environments; and local storage. HexaTiers streamlined solution sits as a front end for all data, with simple definition of rules and policies, automatic discovery and classification of sensitive data, dynamic data masking, and complete monitoring of all database activity. It assures enterprises and organizations of security and compliance when using any of the major commercial cloud platforms, such as Amazon RDS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, Rackspace Cloud, and others. HexaTier reduces the attackable surface of databases by implementing firewalls and segregation of duties, preventing SQL injections, and controlling access privileges. The solution installs quickly and is unified, flexible, and scalable. HexaTier was named a cool vendor in Cool Vendors in Security: Infrastructure Protection, 2013 by the Gartner Research Group.
