PCI-GENERAL For MySQL
 
MySQL Data Encryption, MySQL PCI-DSS Compliance, MySQL Encrypted Backups
For MySQL Data Security & Compliance
PCI-GENERAL for MySQL, part of Security-GENERAL family of products, is a self-defending MySQL server soft appliance. PCI-GENERAL stores MySQL data on cryptographically protected space. As a matter of fact, data never get to the disk or the network unencrypted. This means that data are protected against equipment theft or physical compromise, and against network eavesdroppers.

Only MySQL server application is the authorized to access MySQL data. No other programs, even if running with administrator privileges can access or modify the data.

Backups are encrypted by default, by employing the same mechanism that is used to encrypt the database itself. Thus no special encrypting backup devices are required.

A trimmed down operating system running only the essential services is used to minimize data exposure risk. A smaller number of running programs reduces the "radar cross-section" of PCI-GENERAL, and makes it easier to actively monitor those few services for problems.

Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) allows different administrators to manage different aspects of PCI-GENERAL.

Key management is designed so that the encryption keys are never on permanent storage. Keys are stored partially on disk and partially on FIPS-certified, PIN-protected smart cards, and are reconstituted from these two "shares" when the appliance boots. Thus, a stolen appliance, or a misplaced disk or backup tape contains no information of use to the adversary.
