Greetings,

I am reaching out for help on how to block malicious PostgreSQL scripts/commands like disabling database triggers, updating and deleting database records targeting PostgreSQL  hosted in a Linux server.

Hi Evans,

Luke here from FortiEDR support. I'm afraid that level of database granularity does not exist in FortiEDR. Application Control would allow for the denial of execution for defined processes, but not specific commands or actions within those processes/services.

 

Cheers,
