immudb announced new connectors that make it possible for
data kept in any other data store, for example a PostgreSQL database, to
be made tamper-proof for forensic, judicial or auditing purposes. Until
now, there was no easy way to do that.
With immudb connectors, data can be extended to and stored inside immudb
with guarantees against tampering while providing high performance and
full query capabilities. immudb provides cryptographic verification that
validates integrity of the data at every transaction.
"Data stored in databases is vulnerable to tampering, but the immudb
connectors change all of that so that it's now possible to store data
with trust - knowing its full history to guard against any intrusion,"
said Dennis Zimmer, co-founder and chief technology officer, Codenotary,
the primary contributor to the immudb project.
This comes on the heels of the company's January announcement
of a connector to store events and data gathered by leading Security
Operations Center (SOC) and Security Information and Event Management
(SIEM) tools from Splunk, Elastic, plus IBM QRadar XDR and Microsoft
Sentinel.
Unlike other databases, immudb is built on a zero-trust model: history
is preserved and cannot be changed. Data can only be added, but never
modified. immudb can be deployed in cluster configurations on-premises
or in the cloud for demanding applications that require high
scalability, up to billions of transactions per day, and high
availability. The support of both key-value along with SQL makes it
simple to use immudb in new and existing applications. Support for
Amazon's S3 storage cloud provides immudb with virtually unlimited data
storage capacity. With immudb's Time Travel feature, organizations can
travel back-and-forth in time and see the change history of their data.
immudb is capable of protecting sensitive data for workloads that
require the utmost in data security. Codenotary uses immudb to underpin
its software supply chain security product. There have been more than 15
million downloads of immudb so far.
