Knowledge is Power
Databases store some of the most highly sensitive customer and business data in the enterprise. However, while network security has become established practice, database security has often been overlooked. To meet the growing demand for more pervasive access to database applications that expose the database to more people and applications, database administrators (DBAs) are increasingly faced with security issues that rival network securityincluding insider threats, and rising data breach costs for compromised or lost records. As a result, securing the database has become integral to protecting any enterprise infrastructure, with regulators stepping in to review database-specifi c security compliance. Enforcing acceptable use policies, identifying and blocking new database security threats, and complying with emerging industry and governmental regulations regarding privacy and disclosure of security practices requires sophisticated database activity monitoring (DAM) and vulnerability assessment (VA) capabilities.
