Earlier this week, Sentrigo, Inc., an enterprise database security software provider, announced the release of Hedgehog 2.0.

According to the news release, the updates to Hedgehog 2.0 now allow Microsoft SQL Server users to

enjoy the same
level of security provided by Sentrigo’s
Hedgehog to Oracle database users—defending
against insider breaches, external attacks and vulnerability exploits.

Regular followers of ITGumbo’s parent website, ebizQ.net, should be familiar with Sentrigo from a podcast that ebizQ’s Security Editor, Peter Schooff did with Sentrigo Vice President of Marketing, Rani Osnat, last summer. In it, the two discuss virtual patching and granularity (Hedgehog’s main differentiation points) and what gives it its flexibility to work within a dynamic, shared system (the database) without requiring downtime or preventing other work, unrelated to the vulnerability, from continuing.

The company’s innovativeness in an area of growing concern for database managers hasn’t only caught the attention of ebizQ though. Data security-related websites and blogs throughout the Web have covered the company and its active blogger, CTO and co-founder, Slavik Markovich.

Anyone who wants to get an idea of the data security field, Sentrigo, and Markovich’s role in the company’s success, should check out his blog, “Musings on Database Security.” IT professionals serious about security and preventing database breaches, should consider Hedgehog 2.0 as a possible software solution. There are two main versions of Hedgehog: Hedgehog Enterprise and Hedgehog Standard. Hedgehog Standard can be downloaded for free via Sentrigo’s website.
