HexaTier

HexaTier is a data security platform that provides database and cloud database security, masking, and access control for on-premises (on-prem) and cloud-hosted data stores.

• Database and cloud database security for structured data in on-prem and cloud environments
• Database firewall and activity monitoring (database security)
• Data masking and tokenization capabilities for sensitive records (data protection)
• Access control, authorization, and policy-based security for database users (identity and access management)
• Compliance-oriented controls for regulated datasets in cloud and hybrid architectures

More About HexaTier

HexaTier focuses on security for databases and cloud databases, positioning its platform for organizations that run data workloads in public cloud, private cloud, and on-prem environments. Its capabilities address structured data repositories that handle sensitive or regulated information, such as customer records, financial data, and other business-critical datasets. The platform is used by enterprises that need to enforce security policies consistently across multiple database instances and deployment models.

The HexaTier offering aligns with the database security and data protection categories. It provides capabilities such as database firewalling (database security), which inspects and controls Structured Query Language (SQL) traffic to and from databases, and database activity monitoring (database security), which records and analyzes database operations for security and compliance purposes. These functions are designed to help organizations detect and block unauthorized access attempts, anomalous queries, or policy violations at the database layer.

HexaTier also provides data masking and tokenization (data protection), used to de-identify sensitive information in non-production environments or limit exposure to specific user groups. Masking and tokenization help organizations work with realistic data sets for testing, analytics, or outsourcing while reducing direct access to raw personal or confidential data. In addition, the platform supports granular access control and authorization (identity and access management), enabling administrators to define and enforce rules for which users or applications can access specific data sets or execute particular operations.

The platform is often positioned for cloud database security, including managed database services in public cloud environments, as well as self-managed databases hosted in Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) deployments. HexaTier’s policy engine and controls are intended to apply across different database instances and cloud providers, so that security and compliance requirements can be applied in a consistent manner in hybrid or multi-cloud architectures.

From an enterprise architecture perspective, HexaTier fits into security reference architectures where database security is treated as a dedicated control layer, complementing network firewalls, web application firewalls, and endpoint security. Organizations position HexaTier alongside identity and access management systems, Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) platforms for log ingestion and correlation, and governance frameworks focused on regulatory compliance. In directory and marketplace taxonomies, HexaTier maps most directly to database security, data masking and tokenization, and cloud security for data services.
