Data Security Issues

The Value of Data

As more and more customer and business information is stored on corporate databases; the value of organisations’ digital assets is increasing – making them more attractive to data thieves and vandals. With this increase in value, therefore, the risks to an organisation’s database increases - and criminals are taking the time to craft highly targeted, and devastatingly effective, attacks on corporate data.

The Insecurity of Data

Even though databases are progressively becoming the lifeblood of an organisation, they are fundamentally insecure. This means that individuals – or groups of individuals - accessing your data have the potential to steal or corrupt highly sensitive information. When this information reaches the wrong hands, the impact on a company’s finances, customers and reputation can be devastating.

The Compliance Issues

Database security is also imperative for regulatory compliance. Sarbanes-Oxley, PCI, the Combined Code and Companies Bill, the Data Protection Act and the European International Accounting Standards are all examples of regulations that make re-evaluation of database security essential.

The Solution

It is vital for any organisation to understand who, what, when and why database interactions are happening within the business and to take steps to control access to a database and audit them securely. All sensitive and personally identifiable data must be protected – and remain protected as the risks change or escalate by a security solution that empowers organisations to effectively understand, control and protect their data assets.
