Database security and compliance a top priority for CIOs

Johannesburg, 27 May 2013

Databases have traditionally been secured against hackers through network security measures like firewalls and intrusion detection systems. While there is no doubt that these network security controls remain valuable, securing the databases themselves has become more critical, as networks are increasingly opened to wider access via the Internet.

The growing number of threats to databases and unauthorised access to the data within is clearly creating ongoing headaches for CIOs. Solving these headaches may not be easy, but by asking the right questions, CIOs can begin to overcome their database security and compliance challenges.

CIOs need to know where their crucial data is; what is happening to the data; who is accessing the data; whether the data is private and secure; and whether the above can be reported on. Ascent Technology can provide answers to these critical questions.

Furthermore, in line with its philosophy of technology independence, Ascent supports the three leading industry standard database security and compliance solutions, in the form of McAfee, Imperva and IBM InfoSphere.

To determine which of these solutions is most applicable to your environment, and to permanently remove your database security and compliance challenges, please contact us.
