\"\"Software is not like wine and cheese, it does not get better with age, on the contrary, security strength decreases over time because of software obsolescence. Data security has always been important. But since more people are working remotely as a result of the current health crisis, there are more opportunities for unauthorized access to your data than ever before.<\/p>\n

Security is a group effort since the weakest link is the point of entry. According to a study conducted by IBM and The Ponemon Institute, the two root causes of data breaches in 2020 were compromised credentials (most often due to weak passwords) and cloud misconfigurations (leaving sensitive data accessible ). According to Gartner, In 2021, exposed APIs will pose large threats than UI in 90% of web-enabled applications. Organizations spend time and effort securing the information on the front end, but the attackers claw their way into the system anyway. Businesses need to set up another check on the way out of the network. In other words, if you miss a thief on the way in, you still can catch him on the way out. If the attacker accesses confidential information, it has value only if they can transfer it to their systems.<\/p>\n

Database security is a complex process that involves all aspects of information security technologies and practices. It\u2019s also usually at odds with database usability. The more accessible and easier it is to use the database, the more vulnerable it is; the more invulnerable the database is to threats, the more difficult it is to access and use. This paradox is called Anderson\u2019s Rule<\/a>.<\/p>\n
