DETECTING ATTACKS ON DATABASES BASED ON TRANSACTION CHARACTERISTICS DETERMINED FROM ANALYZING DATABASE LOGS

摘要

A method by a security system implemented by one or more electronic for detecting attacks on one or more databases. The method includes analyzing database logs of one or more databases to determine transaction characteristics of each of the one or more databases, selecting, for each of a plurality of database accesses to the one or more databases, one or more security rules to apply to that database access, wherein different security rules are selected for different ones of the plurality of database accesses depending on the determined transaction characteristics of the database being accessed, and causing, for each of the plurality of database accesses, the one or more security rules selected for that database access to be applied to that database access.
