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.
