The Problem with Legacy Database Access

Even as enterprises move to cloud-native services, deployed databases like Oracle, SQL Server, and PostgreSQL remain mission-critical. Yet many still lack essentials like SSO, fine-grained access policies, and centralized monitoring, leaving security and efficiency at risk.

Lack of Modern Controls

Without SSO, attribute-based policies, or centralized oversight, security is fragmented and harder to enforce.

Untraceable Access

Shared credentials blur accountability, making it difficult to confirm who accessed what, and easier for misuse to go undetected.

Heavy Administrative Load

Coordinating RBAC, user credentials, and schema objects across numerous instances drains resources and invites errors.

Potential for Downtime

Implementing security changes can trigger data model adjustments or system outages.

Secure, Scalable Access Control

Easily connect your Identity Provider and enforce the right access for the right users—without exposing credentials or disrupting workflows.

Map users and groups in your existing Identity Provider – like Okta – to existing database credentials without modifying the underlying database permissions or exposing credentials.
Define and enforce fine-grained access policies, covering credentials, objects, and more, directly within your environment through low-latency integration.
Allow users to sign in with SSO to access temporary database credentials, enabling easy data access from SQL clients.
Integrate ALTR’s sidecar directly with your existing Credential Stores, such as AWS Secrets Manager, to ensure underlying database credentials are never exposed to users or client applications.
Capture all query activity, including detail on the identity of the authenticated user as well as the underlying credential used. Know exactly who did what, when.
Take control of your audit logs by exporting them to your existing security data lake and SIEM tools, unlocking compliance, forensics, and continuous monitoring.

Complete Visibility & Compliance

Gain clarity on every database interaction and keep your audit trail ready for compliance, forensics, and investigations.

Flexible Deployment & Performance Monitoring

Run anywhere in your environment and keep performance optimized with built-in telemetry and scalability.

Deploy anywhere within your environment, both as a container or a package, enabling low-latency data security while centralizing policy and logs within a single control plane.
Use powerful sidecar monitoring and telemetry to easily identify the health of your deployment and automatically scale to changing workloads.

Your Databases. Your Rules. Zero Exposure.

Modern Security Without Disruption

Gain modern access controls without downtime, database changes, or costly infrastructure overhauls.

Identity-Level Accountability Without Rebuilding Access Models

Eliminate credential sharing and ensure every action is tied to a verified user. Identify anomalous access quickly and prove compliance with confidence.

Accelerated Compliance, Less Audit Fatigue

Produce clean, identity-aware logs that reduce the time needed to prepare reports and meet evolving regulatory demands with less manual effort.

No-Friction Adoption Across Your Stack

Get up and running quickly across all your existing databases, tools, and workflows with an easy-to-use interface and scalable configuration.
