What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps organizations eliminate unmanaged privileged database access, reduce shared or standing admin accounts, and ensure sessions and queries are recorded and auditable to meet security and compliance requirements.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Credential Vaulting & Dynamic Credentials: Integrate with vaults to generate short-lived database credentials and reduce secret sprawl.
• Session Proxying & Recording: Route database sessions through proxies for full session recording and query auditing.
• Automated Discovery & Auditing: Run agents to enumerate users, detect shared accounts, verify session logging, and check TLS configuration.
• Reporting & SIEM Integration: Produce JSON reports suitable for compliance evidence and ingestion into SIEMs.
• Use Case: Deploy in a staging environment to validate least-privilege roles, enable dynamic DB credentials from Vault, and demonstrate session recording for auditors.

Quick Start

Run the PAM database audit agent against a test database to generate a JSON compliance report.
