Database Security Essentials - Part 1

In the modern age, there are very few businesses that can get by without an efficient database that can be easily accessed, and the tools that allow for effective data analysis. Moreover, a company's database contains reams of extremely sensitive information that if compromised or lost, could be detrimental for the future of the business and potentially damaging for any clients whose details are on the database.

There have been a number of high profile cases of databases being breached in recent years. In the United States the credit card details of millions of people were hacked by identity fraudsters when they compromised the systems of a number of banks.
