Problem

You can monitor your database. But you cannot intervene.

Performance, security, and compliance — three forces pushing at once. Today's tools all speak after the fact.

Non-sargable queries kill performance
SQL injection attempts reach the DB layer
Legacy apps can't be modified
Observability tools arrive too late and are hard to handle
DBA expertise is scarce — systems run exposed
Audit is weak, root-cause analysis is impossible

You can monitor.

But you cannot intervene.

Three forces pressuring every database team
Performance
  • Missing indexes
  • Lack of query optimization
  • Maintenance deficiencies
  • Insufficient DBA capacity
  • Hardware bottlenecks
Security
  • SQL injection attacks
  • Brute force attempts
  • Audit
  • Data leaks
  • Data masking
  • Backup management
System Monitoring
  • DB metrics
  • Query diagnostics
  • Bottleneck detection
  • Alarm generation

All-in-one SQL Control Layer

One layer. Five capabilities that matter.

Quentra unifies gateway, firewall, audit, monitoring and anomaly detection in a single control point. No application changes required.

01

Smart Gateway

Intercepts SQL traffic at the protocol layer — enabling real-time control without changing applications.

02

DB Firewall

Detects and blocks malicious or risky queries before they reach the database engine.

03

Audit

Captures every query with full context — for compliance, traceability and deep analysis.

04

DB Monitor

Provides real-time visibility into query performance, bottlenecks and system behavior.

05

Anomaly Detector

Uses AI to identify unusual query patterns, attacks and performance anomalies instantly.
