a Leading Bank in the GCC

About

A leading bank in the GCC operating mission-critical Oracle databases on Oracle Linux to support core banking systems. Multiple DBAs and system administrators access the database servers daily to manage performance, security, and availability of financial data.

The challenge

As a highly regulated financial institution, the bank required strict control and visibility over privileged access to its Oracle database servers.
Native database auditing did not provide full visibility into OS-level terminal activity performed via SSH.Administrators could log in to the Oracle Linux servers and execute powerful CLI commands that could:

  • Modify or delete sensitive financial records  
  • Change database configurations 
  • Impact core banking availability  
  • Create compliance and operational risks
  • Complete recording of all terminal sessions
  • Command-level visibility

The result

With Syteca’s capabilities, the customer received:

  • 100% visibility of vendor activities
  • Complete session recording with command history
  • Accurate login/logout tracking for compliance audits
  • Real-time detection of destructive commands
  • Monitoring of 5+ concurrent administrator sessions
