That is just regular DAM (Database Activity Monitoring). I know few companies use it on even fewer DB's but it can really help to identify "rogue access" to your data. It takes (a lot) of time to tone it down to your specific needs and DB access, but once it is up and running it can trigger at the right time (as in the article). There are different kinds of DAM, inline just reading the network traffic, missing the direct access accounts would have from the DB server itself, and the ones that monitor the DB service memory directly. Of course you could start way cheaper / simpler with some proper logging from the DB software itself. It is a growing security area that is a nice (once tamed) additional information source.
