- Imperva Data Security Fabric
Best for: One view across on-premises and cloud data
It is on this list because it puts database activity from on-premises and several clouds into one view with one set of policies. That suits a hybrid mid-market or enterprise estate where data is spread thin. Since Thales now owns it, ask how it will sit next to the Thales encryption and key products on the roadmap.

- Oracle Audit Vault and Database Firewall
Best for: Audit trails and a SQL firewall across mixed databases
It makes the list because it pairs audit trails with a real SQL firewall, so you can both prove control and stop bad queries. It runs on premises as a software appliance on your own hardware, which fits shops that keep databases in house. If most of your data has moved to the cloud, check how that model fits.
