Overview

As we’ve see over the past decade, database-related security breaches can’t be taken lightly. One of the greatest threats to databases is insiders with ill intent. Computer networks have become so complex that it’s easy for database administrators and IT managers to overlook database security gaps that are easily exploited without anyone ever knowing about it. Security weaknesses that would’ve been considered obvious and relatively simple to fix not that long ago are now the Achilles heel of modern business.


This whitepaper discusses the information security and compliance issues associated with Microsoft SQL Server database systems. Whether you’re a CSO, IT manager, internal auditor, or database administrator, read on. You’ll learn about the database security threat, how compliance fits into the overall picture, and what you need to be doing to minimize your business risks.
