Sentrigo announced Hedgehog 3.0, which now supports Microsoft SQL Server 2008 running on Windows Server 2008, as well as SQL Server 2005 and SQL Server 2000 running on earlier Windows platforms. Additionally, the virtual patching solution Hedgehog vPatch now includes dozens of additional protections specific to SQL Server.

Sentrigo’s Hedgehog family of database security products includes:

• Hedgehog Enterprise provides visibility into all activity, including local privileged access, protecting the database in real time with actionable alerts and intrusion prevention capabilities.
• Hedgehog vPatch is a subscription service that protects customers’ databases against known and zero day exploits during the time from when a vulnerability is discovered until a vendor patch can be applied. Unlike vendor patching, Hedgehog vPatch requires no downtime or application testing.
• Hedgehog IDentifier software detects the person responsible for database activity in a pooled connection environment. The software allows companies to conduct full audits for compliance purposes and to enforce control over database access policies.
• Hedgehog Standard is a free version of the Hedgehog software for smaller database environments, and is limited to alerting only.
