DB Networks Launches Real-Time Database Security Sensor

DB Networks has released a first-of-its-kind database sensor that provides makers of security software with real-time, deep-protocol analysis of database traffic—inside or outside the firewall.

It's probably not possible to gather too much network information when guarding against cyber-threats. So the more data a system can generate about legitimate users, the ones trying to break in and others who already have broken in, the better security staff will know how to fight the bad actors.

By integrating this sensor into their products, security OEMs provide their customers with more usage detail and metrics from data-tier cyber-threats. The Layer 7 Database Sensor—the first of its kind in the industry, DB Networks claims—features patented technology to enhance and differentiate their product offerings. In turn, enterprise users can deploy these new features, offered through their trusted channel or OEM vendors, to protect their critical database infrastructure.

Metal Packaging Europe appoints secretary general

Metal Packaging Europe (MPE), a Brussels-based trade group representing the interests of producers and suppliers of rigid metal packaging in Europe, has appointed Joris Nachtergaele its secretary general.

MPE’s membership covers more than 300 manufacturing sites that employ more than 350,000 people, according to the organization.

“We are very pleased to confirm Joris’ appointment,” says Peter Lockley, chairman of MPE. “He has the skill and knowledge to ensure our industry is fully represented with the European institutions and I’m sure he will act as a committed ambassador for metal and the circular economy.”

Nachtergaele has been MPE’s director of external affairs since 2012. He previously served as deputy managing director of the Association of European Producers of Steel for Packaging (APEAL).

“I’m excited to be appointed to lead an organization doing so much to achieve a truly circular economy in which resources can be properly managed and kept within the economy, used again and again and hence create further value,” says Nachtergaele.
