Database Security for Security Professionals
sponsored by Guardium, an IBM Company
ABSTRACT:
Information security professionals may be intrigued by emerging database security technologies like database access monitoring (DAM), but those protections are of little use without a solid understanding of the fundamentals of database design and management, context many infosec pros lack. This video offers an overview of key concepts of relational database management, including terminology, rules, and referential integrity, painting a clear picture of how database security fits within the database management paradigm. Other key concepts include:
- Structured Query Language and its three major components
- Variance of logs across databases
- Auditing vs. database activity monitoring (DAM)
- Factors when evaluating a DAM tool
- Database vulnerability assessment
