View Database Instances Information

Databases often contain sensitive information, such as customer or user data. This makes them attractive targets for cyber-attacks and misuse. As a result, various organizations are required to comply with regulations such as GDPR and PCI-DSS for protection of databases. Access to detailed information about specific database instances enables organizations to assess whether a particular instance falls within the scope of GDPR, PCI compliance, or any other regulation.

The Database tab allows you to view detailed information of database Instances and Database Servers. You can use the Group By to filter or QQL token to search for a specific instance or server.
