Protecting Against Database Attacks and Insider Threats: Top 5 Scenarios
Source: IBM
Data security presents a multi-dimensional challenge in today's complex IT environment. Multiple access paths and permission levels have resulted in a broad array of security threats and vulnerabilities. Traditional "fortress approaches" such as firewalls and IDS/IPS systems are no longer sufficient to defend against attackers who can easily bypass perimeter defenses. These security measures can't differentiate or prevent unauthorized traffic that appears to be legitimate. We invite you to read this new eBook: "Protecting against database attacks and insider threats" to learn the top five scenarios and essential best practices for preventing database attacks and insider threats.

As databases continue to grow in size, complexity and importance, enterprises struggle to identify the most appropriate controls regarding their use and misuse. The most effective database security implementations will leverage controls across administrative, preventive and detective controls. The report identifies best practices, including: Implementing database activity monitoring to mitigate the high levels of risk from database vulnerabilities, and address audit findings in areas such as database segregation of duties and change management; using data security measures, such as data masking and data encryption; and monitoring privileged-user access and access to critical data.
