Patch Management

StarStarStarStar

Regularly applying software patches for the database management system ensures protection against known vulnerabilities that could be exploited by attackers.

StarStarStarStar

Use of Firewalls

StarStarStarStar

Implementing database firewalls can prevent unauthorized access and protect the database from various types of attacks by monitoring and controlling incoming and outgoing traffic.

StarStarStarStar

Data Masking

StarStarStarStar

Masking sensitive data in the database ensures that non-privileged users can work with data without accessing sensitive information, which helps in maintaining privacy and security.

StarStarStarStar

Incident Response Plan

StarStarStarStar

Having a well-defined incident response plan enables a quick and effective response to security breaches, minimizing potential damage and laying out steps to recover and secure the database.

StarStarStarStar

Access Controls

StarStarStarStar

Implementing granular access controls ensures that users have the minimum level of access required to perform their duties, following the principle of least privilege.

StarStarStarStar

Audit Trails

StarStarStarStar

Keeping detailed logs of database activities can help track changes, access patterns, and potentially malicious activities, enabling accountability and forensic analysis.

StarStarStarStar

Regular Security Assessments

StarStarStarStar

Periodically assessing the security of the database helps identify and mitigate new vulnerabilities, ensuring that the system adapts to evolving threats.

StarStarStarStar

Secure Authentication Mechanisms

StarStarStarStar

Using strong authentication methods such as multi-factor authentication (MFA) can vastly reduce the risk of unauthorized database access by verifying user identity more robustly.

StarStarStarStar

Regular Backups

StarStarStarStar

Maintaining frequent backups of the database helps in data recovery in case of a catastrophic failure or data breach. It's key to loss prevention and maintaining data integrity.

StarStarStarStar

Input Validation

StarStarStarStar

Validating user inputs can prevent SQL injection and other forms of data manipulation by ensuring that only properly formatted data is entered into the system.

StarStarStarStar

Data Encryption

StarStarStarStar

Encryption of data at rest and in transit protects sensitive information from unauthorized access. It ensures that even if data is intercepted or accessed, it's unreadable without the appropriate decryption keys.

StarStarStarStar

SQL Injection Prevention

StarStarStarStar

Using prepared statements and stored procedures can help prevent SQL injection attacks by separating SQL logic from user inputs, thus preventing attackers from manipulating SQL queries.
