Database security suite providing field-level encryption, SQL injection prevention, and intrusion detection for sensitive data.
What is Acra?
Acra is a database security suite that provides field-level encryption, SQL injection prevention, and intrusion detection for protecting sensitive data in applications. It encrypts data at the application level before it reaches the database, supports searchable encryption, and includes a configurable SQL firewall to block malicious queries. Acra helps organizations secure personal and regulated data while maintaining compliance with standards like GDPR and HIPAA.
Developers and DevOps teams building web, mobile, or IoT applications that handle sensitive data (e.g., healthcare, fintech, SaaS). It is suited for organizations needing robust database security without major application rewrites.
Acra offers a unified suite of security controls—encryption, firewall, intrusion detection—that are easy to integrate via proxy or API. Its defense-in-depth design and minimal code changes reduce risk and operational overhead compared to piecing together separate security tools.
