Don’t Be Breached

Don’t Be Breached sells Database Cyber Security Guard, a product focused narrowly on database-layer breach detection using deep packet inspection combined with AI and machine learning to spot anomalous queries indicative of data theft, ransomware staging, or zero-day exploitation against database platforms like Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, and SAP. The company’s positioning is that perimeter and endpoint tools routinely miss attacks that manifest as unusual database activity, which is where the actual data theft occurs.

The company markets itself heavily around specific, named incidents — publishing analysis of how its product would have detected particular vendor SQL injection and breach events as they occur — as a way of demonstrating relevance to prospective buyers. It was a Black Unicorn Award nominee in 2019 and a Top 100 Winner in the cybersecurity startups category at Black Hat USA 2020, though it has not achieved the visibility of larger database activity monitoring vendors like Imperva or IBM Guardium.

As a small, privately-held niche vendor with no disclosed funding, employee count, or named enterprise customers in public sources, Don’t Be Breached’s real-world scale is difficult to independently verify. Its continued website activity through 2026 indicates the company remains operational, but buyers should expect a narrower, more specialized tool rather than a broad data-security platform.
