Data is at the heart of Digital Transformation. Databases are subject to unique threats that cannot be handled by traditional IT Security Solutions such as firewalls. The threat landscape is constantly evolving and becoming more sophisticated and specialised.
Databases are frequently targeted by insiders, organised criminals and even nation-states, given that they hold the most sensitive company assets. Learn how to evaluate your database security, reduce database vulnerabilities and monitor user activities to keep your data safe.
