Obviously, security is paramount in data management systems. This session will discuss the core strategies for ensuring the security of your databases, including encrypting data at rest and in transit, key management, user and service authentication, secure data sharing, protecting against injection attacks, and auditing changes. The specific challenges and tactics for implementing these strategies vary between relational databases and NoSQL. We will look at the tools, processes, and practices you can put in place regardless of where you are storing your data, and then touch on some product specific tools provided by leading database vendors. Finally, the session will look at where database security fits into the larger picture of cyber-security within the enterprise, reviewing how advanced persistent threats (APTs) generally take place, and how the enterprise can make it harder for them to access your databases.
