The Last Mile of Data Protection
You have MFA on M365 and VPN. But your DBAs and developers still access production MySQL, MSSQL, Oracle, and PostgreSQL with just a password.
DB credentials are often shared, hardcoded in scripts, and never rotated. This is where data leaves the company.
Why Traditional Database Security Fails
- Service accounts with standing privileges
- Shared
saorrootpasswords - No MFA at the DB protocol layer
- No visibility into who ran DROP TABLE
What is Advanced MFA for Data Protection?
Advanced MFA moves MFA enforcement to the database layer itself.
AuthNull's 3-Layer Approach
Layer 1: Database Logon MFA
Every database login, even via SQL client or application, requires MFA. We install a lightweight agent on the DB server that hooks into the login flow — no application code change needed.
Layer 2: Just-in-Time Access + Vaulting
No standing DB passwords. The user requests access in the AuthNull portal, a manager approves, and a password is auto-rotated and checked out for 1 hour. After use, the password is auto-rotated again.
Layer 3: Session Recording
Every query in a privileged session is recorded for audit — who accessed customer data and when, a full answer for GDPR auditors.
Use Cases
- Protect PII/Financial Data — enforce MFA for any access to a DB containing customer data.
- Stop Insider Threats — even a DBA cannot access prod without approval + MFA.
- Compliance Ready — meets PCI-DSS 8.3, GDPR Article 32, and HIPAA requirements for advanced authentication for data access.
Result
One AuthNull customer, a fintech, prevented a major breach when a developer's laptop with saved DB credentials was stolen. The thief had a password, but not the second factor.
