Kron DAM (Database Activity Monitoring) is a comprehensive data-security platform that gives you complete visibility, control, and audit over every database environment. It continuously monitors every query, schema change, and data-access event — ensuring data integrity, regulatory compliance, and real-time threat detection across your entire database estate.
Kron DAM also includes Dynamic Data Masking (DDM), protecting sensitive fields in real time — so users can work with data functionally without ever seeing confidential information such as credit-card numbers, personal identifiers, or health records. Kron DAM is recognised by Gartner in its Market Guide for Data Masking and Synthetic Data, and trusted by enterprises across finance, healthcare, government, and telecom.
How it works — database monitoring architecture
Kron DAM sits between users and databases as a transparent monitoring and control layer. Every query is intercepted, logged, policy-checked, and — where rules dictate — sensitive data is masked before results reach the user. The actual database is never modified. It supports all major enterprise databases — Oracle, MySQL/MariaDB, Microsoft SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and leading cloud databases — from a single centralised console.
Core capabilities
Kron DAM delivers six integrated capabilities that address the full spectrum of database security, compliance, and operations.
Dynamic Data Masking — how it works
Dynamic Data Masking intercepts query results in real time and replaces sensitive field values with masked equivalents for users who lack the appropriate access level — without any change to the database itself. Masking rules are configured centrally per data classification, user role, and data category: full data remains available to authorised users such as DBAs, while analysts and application users see only what they need.
Masking formats supported
Replace all characters — e.g. ****-****-****-****
Show first or last N digits only — e.g. ****-0011
Replace with realistic fake data
Replace with an encrypted token
Return empty / null for the field
