Database hacking is one of the fastest-growing security threats to confidential business information. Contemporary database platforms, and the applications that use them, have intrinsic vulnerabilities that can be readily exploited by external hackers or internal staff. Until recently, the only countermeasure was to restrict severely internal and external connectivity to sensitive databases. New database assurance technology provides a much more cost-effective, flexible and applicable solution. For the first time, it can put you ahead of the attacker by detecting and blocking such attacks (whether they have ever been seen before or not) without any impact on business functionality or system performance. This paper sets out the business benefits and cost savings associated with such technology. It also presents valuable guidance to user organizations on how to go about developing and presenting a professional business case for acquiring and implementing this technology. |
