A method by one or more electronic devices to notify an administrator when it is safe to mitigate a non-compliant database configuration of a database. The method includes responsive to identifying the non-compliant database configuration of the database, applying a security rule that detects occurrences of database operations that make use of the non-compliant database configuration and responsive to a determination that the security rule has not been invoked for at least a threshold length of time, causing a notification to be sent to the administrator that indicates that it is safe for the administrator to mitigate the non-compliant database configuration.

Continuous database security and compliance

A method by a network device for assigning data types to data values included in application programming interface (API) responses sent by an API server to one or more API clients via an API. The method includes obtaining a first set of API responses from an endpoint of the API, generating a profile for the endpoint of the API based on analyzing the first set of API responses, where the profile of the endpoint indicates an expected structure of API responses and expected data types associated with data fields included in API responses, obtaining a second set of API responses, and using the profile of the endpoint of the API to assign data types to data values included in API responses in the second set of API responses.

Data leakage prevention over application programming interface

A method by a security system for selectively triggering different ones of a plurality of database assessment scans for a database and detecting when non-compliant database configurations of the database are being used. The method includes monitoring for occurrences of a first class of database operations, responsive to detecting an occurrence of one or more database operations of the first class, selecting one or more subsets of the plurality of database assessment scans to be rerun, triggering performance of only the selected one or more of the subsets, identifying one or more non-compliant database configurations of the database based on accessing results of the selected one or more of the subsets, determining one or more security rules for detecting occurrences of database operations that make use of the identified one or more non-compliant database configurations, and applying the determined one or more security rules.

A method by a network device for generating audit logs. The method includes obtaining a first set of application programming interface (API) responses from an endpoint of an API, generating a profile for the endpoint of the API based on analyzing the first set of API responses, where the profile of the endpoint indicates an expected structure of API responses and expected data types associated with data fields included in API responses, obtaining a second set of API responses, using the API profile to determine, for each API response in the second set of API responses, data types of data values included in that API response, and generating an audit log that logs information regarding the data types of the data values included in the second set of API responses.

A method implemented by a security system for selectively triggering different ones of a plurality of database assessment scans for a database The method includes monitoring for occurrences of a first class of database operations that have been determined to require only rerunning subsets of the plurality of database assessment scans to determine whether results of the plurality of database assessment scan shave changed, responsive to detecting an occurrence of one or more database operations of the first class, selecting one or more of the subsets to be rerun based on which of the database operations of the first class occurred, and triggering performance of only the selected one or more of the subsets to determine whether the results of the plurality of database assessment scans have changed.
