Oracle Database Security

These days, organizations are managed with ones and zeros rather than printed-paper. Networks of computers hold critical data and run essential processes that keep an organization in operation. This combination of interconnected computers and critical data creates a real area of concern— computer security. If an organization’s computers are connected to a network, users of that network can easily misuse unprotected computers. If critical computers are connect to the Internet, they become susceptible to hacking by anyone in the entire world who may want to steal information, modify data, or disrupt operations. Anyone. Anywhere. Anytime.

Most organizations have taken steps to secure computer information and operations from external threats, but what many companies fail to realize is that most security breaches occur from employees or trusted entities within the internal network of the organization. A disgruntled employee wants to get even, a greedy staff member desires to commit fraud, a trusted employee accidentally exposes confidential information, or a curious student wants to test his abilities. Whoever it may be, the goldmine of information they want most likely resides in or around a database.

How can an organization protect itself from the risks of an exposed database? A complete Oracle Database Assessment from Cnetics Technologies can identify risks within an organization’s databases (due diligence). Having identified the risk, due care can be taken mitigate the risks. A Cnetics Oracle Database Assessment takes three steps: (1) interviews with key employees, (2) a penetration test of database systems, and (3) vulnerability tests in the database and the Oracle environment on the operating system. Once these tests are accomplished, Cnetics will provide you with a confidential and detailed report of the findings along with recommendations for risk mitigation.

If you want to make sure your company's data is secure from the inside out, give Cnetics a call.
