Protecting Against Database Attacks and Insider Threats: Top 5 Scenarios

Data security presents a multi-dimensional challenge in today's complex IT environment. Multiple access paths and permission levels have resulted in a broad array of security threats and vulnerabilities. Traditional "fortress approaches" such as firewalls and IDS/IPS systems are no longer sufficient to defend against attackers who can easily bypass perimeter defenses. These security measures can't differentiate or prevent unauthorized traffic that appears to be legitimate. We invite you to read this new eBook: "Protecting against database attacks and insider threats" to learn the top five scenarios and essential best practices for preventing database attacks and insider threats.

Database Activity Monitoring Is Evolving

In this report, Gartner writes that "Database audit and protection (DAP) represents an evolutionary advance in database activity monitoring tools." DAP suites provide comprehensive, cross-platform support in heterogeneous database environments to protect sensitive data from inappropriate use. Organizations are increasingly concerned with optimizing database security and mitigating risks associated with database vulnerabilities. And, the need to meet compliance requirements is pressuring organizations to adopt more aggressive and expansive data controls. Read the analyst report and learn how you can leverage the core capabilities of a DAP solution for better database security.

Establishing a Strategy for Database Security is No Longer Optional

As databases continue to grow in size, complexity and importance, enterprises struggle to identify the most appropriate controls regarding their use and misuse. The most effective database security implementations will leverage controls across administrative, preventive and detective controls. The report identifies best practices, including: Implementing database activity monitoring to mitigate the high levels of risk from database vulnerabilities, and address audit findings in areas such as database segregation of duties and change management; using data security measures, such as data masking and data encryption; and monitoring privileged-user access and access to critical data.

Finding the right cloud solutions for your organization

If you manage technology today, you know the story: everything is mobile, connected, interactive, immediate, and fluid. Expectations are high. On any given day, it's all about service delivery. You need to provide technology-enabled services to your people whenever and wherever they need them-and you need to do it cost-effectively, securely, and quickly. This is one of the driving forces behind the rise in cloud computing. Cloud computing can provide new levels of collaboration, agility, speed, and cost savings for enterprises of any size and type.

HP is driving the evolution of what we call the Instant-On Enterprise. It is an enterprise that embeds technology into everything it does to better serve citizens, partners, employees, and clients. We believe that today's Instant-On Enterprises need to think differently about how they source and deliver services that are enabled by technology. They need to take advantage of a hybrid delivery model-one that truly optimizes the mix between traditional IT, private cloud, and public cloud.

Measuring the Business Value of CI in the Data Center

One of the key strategies that IT teams are pursuing to reduce capital costs while boosting asset utilization and employee productivity is the transition to highly virtualized data centers. However, IDC finds that expectations for further boosts in IT asset use and operational efficiency often surpass the actual results for a variety of reasons. These problems can quickly overwhelm any hoped-for benefits as the scope of virtual server deployment expands.

HP, a global provider of IT solutions and an early innovator in converged infrastructure systems, provides a complete portfolio of hardware, software, and services for enabling greater/faster deployment of converged infrastructure solutions in data center environments. More important, HP is also delivering the advanced orchestration management software that will make it possible for IT organizations to effectively obtain the maximum business value from these investments.
