Abstract
A nonintrusive database access monitoring mechanism employs a hybrid approach that disallows, or blocks, the access mediums which are not feasible to intercept or analyze, as well as intercepting and analyzing access mediums for which interception and interrogation is available. Accordingly, various configurations provide the hybrid coverage approach to identifying access mediums, and either block or intercept the access attempts. In this manner, access mediums, such as interprocess communication (IPC) system calls, which may be efficiently intercepted and analyzed are captured and substantively processed, while other access mediums that are excessively burdensome or intrusive to capture are unselectively blocked from any communication, avoiding the need to analyze such access attempts.
