Database activity monitoring,
without the enterprise price.
Monitor every query across 20+ engines, score it against AI behavioral baselines, and flag threats in under a second — for roughly 90% less than the legacy incumbents, deployed in minutes rather than months. And because it runs on the same collector as the compliance evidence and the vulnerability scanning, replacing your DAM retires more than one line item.
What a modern DAM
actually has to do
Every query, as it happens
The streaming pipeline handles millions of events per second and keeps detection latency under a second. No nightly batch runs, no gaps in the trail. Queries are normalized, deduplicated, classified, and tied to a user and a session.
Read from native audit mechanisms
pgaudit and Extended Events, unified and traditional Oracle trails, the MongoDB audit log, Snowflake query history. One collector reads what the engine already produces — nothing is installed on your database hosts.
AI threat detection on the query stream
Behavioral baselines per user and per application, scored in real time. SQL injection attempts, privilege escalation, and service accounts reading tables they have never touched surface in under a second.
Change requests without an opt-in
Run SELECT 'CR:12345' WHERE 1 = 0 before your changes and every statement in that session is tied to the change request. No agents, no application changes, no database configuration — and SOX and ITIL change control get their evidence.

Modern architecture,
not a discount on the old one
Cost
No appliances to rack, no per-core licensing, and no separate module for the AI. Roughly 90% less than the legacy DAM incumbents on the same estate.
Ease of use
One Helm chart, then connect databases. Minutes to first event instead of a deployment project with a professional-services line item attached.
Runs local
Self-hosted, hybrid, or air-gapped. Audit data never has to leave your network, and sensitive values are masked before anything egresses.
It is not only a DAM
The same collector also does the compliance evidence, the vulnerability scanning, and the alert routing. Replacing a legacy DAM here retires two other line items at the same time.
