Security has been the number 1 issue for any IT industry and organizations have to adopt to the
new security technology catering to their needs from time to time. Though the DBMS itself has
security features, however multiple features like SQL injection protection,vulnerability
assessments,user control activity etc features are still left unattended.Let us now see what are the
emerging security technologies in the protection of databases.
Protecting sensitive and confidential data of the organization is getting more and more difficult
as new threats are discovered. Database is a ever growing thing and their is a chance for the
presence of loopholes.The main problem when it comes to databases is the DBA should have the
view of all the data as a central controller and he should scour the database for any
vulnerabilities.VMT ( vulnerability management technology) is very useful to view the entire
database landscape and help the DBA to ensure his data of any exploitations.
Once the landscape is clearly scene a series of scans can be administered to see where the
sensitive or high protection needed data is present and using DAM technology (Database
monitoring technology) it is easy to protect the sensitive data effectively and add patches
wherever required. The technology also generates warnings and alerts on violations as it
monitors the database in real time. Most useful feature of using DAM is to collect information
about the use of DBMS which can help in audit purposes.It also provides database firewalls
which is similar to web application firewalls which can discard malicious activity,filter the
queries and have blacklist and whitelist feature as well.
Yes, software security is what people are after.However hardware security is needed wherever
software security cant protect.Nowadays cloud computing has emerged as the most powerful
technology where every information we have will be stored in remote servers and can be
accessed by us whenever needed. But the question arises about the security of the data. So, one
wonderful solution for this involves a hardware security systems where the dedicated chips are
inserted in the servers which can be overridden by the third parties via malicious attacks.These
chips provide security and security verification and makes the cloud system safe and reliable.
It is an obvious fact that providing hardware security for the device gives more confidence that
having a software security solution which can be accessed remotely and malware can come and
reside anywhere, But in these hardware systems there are only designated tasks and limited space
and malware cant even hide there.
Hardware security chips also manage physical problems.For example if there are fluctuations in
temperature,problems in electrical flow and breach of the casting then these chips can erase the
sensitive data.In this way these chips can protect themselves. There is also a facilty of every chip
having a unique digital signature and the user whe.
