Installed as a front-end to the cloud database, the GreenSQL solution fully camouflages and secures database applications and the data they maintain. "We architected the GreenSQL database security solution to give customers additional layers of security for their databases running on AWS. We deliver comprehensive real-time intrception of malicious and inadvertent threats, while also allowing developers and contractors to perform their duties without ever gaining access to sensitive or protected information," said Amir Sadeh, CEO of GreenSQL.
