FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Can passive monitoring block or mask traffic?
No. Passive monitoring records activity without changing it. To block a request or mask a live result, traffic must pass through DataSunrise.
Can DataSunrise authenticate users before they reach the database?
Yes. Authentication Proxy can verify users for supported database connections before DataSunrise forwards the session. Supported databases and identity methods depend on the authentication path.
Can DataSunrise require two-factor authentication for database access?
Yes. In supported proxy authentication workflows, DataSunrise can require a second verification step before a user connects to the database. Available methods depend on the database and authentication path.
Does Dynamic Data Masking change stored data?
No. It changes the result shown to the user while the stored value remains unchanged. Static Data Masking, on the other hand, creates a de-identified copy.
Which databases does DataSunrise Encryption at Rest support?
It supports PostgreSQL and Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL.
