In all the recent publicity about government and private sector data loss scandals, there has been a common thread – the need to control and audit when, where and how applications, information and databases are accessed, and by whom. Accountability is key to reducing threats from unauthorised user access – whether malicious or accidental - and to preventing modification, loss or extraction of data.
Common tools such as anti-virus, firewalls, intrusion detection and identity management are all important parts of an information security strategy – but fail to address the fundamental issue of securing the actual data. Successful strategies start at the database.
In this Computing web seminar, in association with Oracle, we examine the role of the database in protecting your vital corporate information. Our panel of experts will discuss the latest tools, technologies and best practice to help ensure that your plans are based on a solid foundation of security that starts where the data itself is located.
