Guardium was really easy to build, regardless of individual skills but sometimes it's tricky. Due to its ease of deployment When it comes to the analysis of events, IBM Guardium has A.I. for analysis of the anomaly of data. It will help you to study the pattern of your database and provide an anomaly score for your review.
Guardium helps in different ways by monitoring and auditing, vulnerability management, data transformation, real-time security rules, and intelligent reporting to facilitate the identification and defense against both internal and external threats. I have contributed to the automation and security of data from different databases and application platforms. In fact, the scheduling, automating, and monitoring systems for data storage and access are beneficial.
