Most businesses need some form of database security to protect confidential records and intellectual property from both external and internal threats. Email and the Internet make corporate information more accessible, so protecting information is a daily conflict. With breaches of sensitive data on the rise, look for enhanced security features as vendors are upgrading database security services.

Consider a more comprehensive database security system to balance the safety and privacy of your data with employee access. Developers recommend a multi-factored database security model that sets controls for access privileges to provide limited use. Options include installing mini-virtual databases, controlling traffic over certain IP addresses, restricting access within specific computing tasks and locking down database structures. But because data needs to be stored, copied and made available instantly, database security remains a collaborative effort for companies.

Depending on your database security services projects, considering the following solutions:

1. Improve your database security system with security software suites.

2. Upgrade your database security appliances with system support.

3. Get information monitoring and management with database security services.

Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Improve your database security system with DB security software


Database security software should protect your database not only from intrusion but also from unintended activity and malicious attacks. Vendors release software packages that address individual threats. Ask for software suites for complete coverage.

I recommend: AppDetectivePro scans your system to assess your vulnerability in both applications and databases, and reports and fixes security problems. Oracle, a leader in data management, recommends the multi-factor access controls available in its security suites. Additionally, Oracle promises to be cost-effective, reliable and user-friendly.

Improve database security with business database security appliances


Look for the latest developments in data security in the security appliances market. Due to increased security breaches, the demand for data security appliances will likely lead to improved versatility and compatibility strategies.

I recommend: Mantra is a monitoring appliance that taps into your existing network on an Ethernet switch. Mantra provides transparent data auditing and protection within your data center. The PacketSentry solution offers grouped security appliances, the PacketSentry Manager, the PacketSentry Probe and also the PacketSentry Branch Probe for remote coverage. These appliances work out-of-band and provide real-time activity records and reporting.

Get database security management with a database security system


You need a DB security system with management services to balance worker access with data security. DB security services provide the software application that organize and maintain the database system. The process of maintaining data integrity and recovery can depend on your data language and legacy appliances. With vast differences between product offerings, consider working with a team for custom analysis of your system.

I recommend: Crossbeam's SecureShore Network Management System (NMS) provides full support for all Crossbeam security platforms. SecureShore NMS offers a multi-element solution with easy interface for multi-device networks. Outsource your security needs with Symantec’s Managed Security Services. Symantec security systems offer software integration and partnership services and provide protection and incident response.
