 What is Quarantine?

• Specify an amount of time for user to be banned/allowed from/to a resource

• Not an S-GATE function as no handshake occurs

• Disallow based on IP, DB User and Instance (session-level parameters)

• Can be managed using 3 types of GuardAPI connection quarantining functions:

 Create: create_quarantine_allowed_until or create_quarantine_until

 Update: upate_quarantine_allowed_until or update_quarantine_until

 Delete: delete_quarantine

• Available for Access, Exception and Extrusion rules

• Great way to “buy time” while the incident is being investigated

• Powerful complement to real-time blocking in preventing repeated attacks

4 IBM Security
 Security Policy Rules

• Create a Security Rule and select Quarantine as its action

• Specify an amount of time for the Quarantine to be active

• At first sight it will look similar to S-GATE and S-TAP Terminate actions

• The quarantined users appear on the Guardium Connections Quarantined

predefined report

• These users will not be able to do anything after reconnecting to DB

5 IBM Security
 Security Policy Rules

Quarantine action always requires minutes > 0

If S-GATE is enabled and Open Mode is set as default,
some data may be leaked by the connection just
quarantined

Statement of Good Security Practices: IT system security involves protecting systems and information through prevention, detection and response to improper access from within and outside your
enterprise. Improper access can result in information being altered, destroyed, misappropriated or misused or can result in damage to or misuse of your systems, including for use in attacks on others.
No IT system or product should be considered completely secure and no single product, service or security measure can be completely effective in preventing improper use or access. IBM systems,
products and services are designed to be part of a lawful, comprehensive security approach, which will necessarily involve additional operational procedures, and may require other systems, products
or services to be most effective. IBM does not warrant that any systems, products or services are immune from, or will make your enterprise immune from, the malicious or illegal conduct of any party.
