solutions / database security / faqsFrequently Asked Questions
Database Security refers to the protection of business-critical sensitive data that resides within databases from external or internal threats that compromise the integrity of the data and the prevention of its misuse. In the recent past, with an increasing number of organisations embracing digital transformation, the possibilities of sensitive data exposure and the resulting financial losses have also seen an uptick. Securing the enterprise database is key to ensure compliance with applicable regulations and protect an organization’s reputation.
With the average cost of data breaches reaching upwards of $4 Million, just the financial ramifications of the exposure of sensitive data to unauthorized actors can be crippling for organizations. Encryption of sensitive data is also imperative for businesses in order to adhere to security and compliance regulations, as an increasing number of countries have already introduced or are in the process of introducing legislations on the same. The reputational damage that follows a sensitive data breach can also affect the business outlook and operations and hence sensitive data protection is a critical aspect of ensuring business continuity.
The growing variety of digital transformation projects managed by enterprises also leads to the complexity of IT infrastructure that is needed to support the increasing needs. To manage this, enterprises depend on various types of databases and data stores depending on their business requirements. The data within these databases vary across formats and the sensitivity of its nature. To discover and identify sensitive data wherever it is located and to protect this data by securing databases irrespective of its type or location, a good Database Security solution is critical for enterprises today.
