GreenSQL Express: FREE Database Security

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

GreenSQL Express: FREE Database Security

Tel Aviv, Israel – January 1, 2011

GreenSQL has just announced the launch of GreenSQL Express, its first free commercial product. GreenSQL Express is especially designed for the benefit of the open-source community, who have been long–time GreenSQL supporters, and for organizations that use Microsoft SQL Server that would like to start securing their sensitive data and prefer to allocate their budget to other tasks.

At the same time, GreenSQL is releasing version 2.0 of its commercial products, GreenSQL Light and GreenSQL Pro. This version further secures valuable databases, providing a separation of duties, security policy per table and advanced auditing policy per proxy, database, table and column.
GreenSQL Express, GreenSQL Light and GreenSQL Pro currently support Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL and PostgreSQL and will support additional databases in the future. GreenSQL is the only company to supply free, commercially-supported database security for both open-source and commercial databases. As a result, GreenSQL is well positioned to secure sensitive databases of organizations of all sizes.

SQL injection, widely used by criminals, tricks Web applications into providing protected information from a database by exploiting existing queries such as user sign-in verifications to do things they weren't designed to do. This was the technique used in the Heartland Payment Systems attack, where hackers broke into a database of millions of credit card numbers.

The GreenSQL database firewall already prevents SQL Injection attacks on the most popular open-source database, MySQL. Since its first release 30 months ago, over 100,000 copies of its software have been downloaded; making it the #1 installed Database Security Solution for open-source databases. The addition of native protection from SQL Injection to Microsoft SQL Server will broaden GreenSQL's appeal even more.

"We are dedicated to serving the open-source community, both by providing our unified database security software in the open-source format and by extending the protection we provide to additional open-source and commercial databases," said Hadar Eshel, GreenSQL VP Sales. "The release of GreenSQL Express now extends the protective reach of free GreenSQL security software beyond the open-source community into a much larger domain."
