Ten Database Activities Enterprises Need to Monitor
.
Ten Database Activities Enterprises Need to Monitor by Jeffrey Wheatman, Research Director, Gartner
Most enterprises are paying too little attention to the very real security risks associated with their databases. Databases - especially RDBMSs - are growing larger all the time, and the information they hold is increasingly sensitive and subject to compliance requirements of many different kinds. These sensitive data types include intellectual property, personally identifiable information, personal health information and financial information. Auditors, security and risk professionals, and data owners need to watch for telltale behaviors that may indicate serious database security problems.
Key Findings
- The use of structured data storage, and the amount of data stored in this way, are increasing rapidly. This trend is largely driven by data analytics requirements and consolidation efforts.
- The information stored in enterprise databases is increasingly sensitive and subject to legal, regulatory and other compliance requirements.
- Despite the growing criticality of their databases, many enterprises continue to rely heavily on inadequate network and application-layer controls, and perform only minimal monitoring on database storage infrastructure.
Read this complimentary report, “Ten Database Activities Enterprise Need to Monitor”, authored by Jeffrey Wheatman, research director within Gartner’s Information Security, Risk Management and Privacy research group, that includes Gartner’s compiled list of 10 critical database activities and behaviors - segmented by four sets of roles - that enterprises should be auditing now.
