Aurva Database Activity Monitoring

What Aurva Database Activity Monitoring is

Aurva Database Activity Monitoring monitors queries from people, service accounts, and AI agents, and can block threats in real time. It identifies the actor behind a query and provides context such as role, application, and access path. For AI agents, Aurva builds behavioral baselines and alerts on activity that departs from normal patterns. Policies can enforce access by identity, data sensitivity, location, and time, including blocking access or redacting columns. Aurva describes its architecture as passive and out-of-band: it monitors traffic without sitting in the query path and says it adds 0 ms of application latency. Deployment options include agent, agentless, combined, cloud, on-premises, and hybrid setups. Named data coverage includes PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Snowflake, BigQuery, DynamoDB, and Kafka, among other stores. Aurva says its audit logging and sensitive-data monitoring align with SOC 2 and ISO 27001 objectives. The product is aimed at organizations handling regulated or sensitive data, including fintech, banking, insurance, healthcare, and SaaS. Pricing is custom and available on request, based on cloud accounts, data sources, and selected modules.
