Database Security

Comprehensive security vulnerability audit, penetration testing and critical patch update
As the boundaries between networks have become less defined – and web applications provide direct routes through firewalls into backend databases – hundreds of vulnerabilities are uncovered each day, leaving businesses open to attacks from both outside and inside their organisation. Indeed, industry figures indicate that 70% of attacks are internal.

The need to implement Oracle Database Security has never been greater. That’s why DSP provide a range of security services, including comprehensive security vulnerability audit, penetration testing and critical patch update implementation, to ensure the safety of your Oracle environment

Oracle Database Security - only secure if configured to be so!
An Oracle database can be secured, and actually Oracle is very secure especially compared with other databases, BUT, and this BUT is crucial, it is only secure if it is configured to be so! And unfortunately the default Oracle configuration is not secure. DSP have a Security practice . DSP have developed a range of techiniques that reduce Security exposure and can implement a number of preventative measures that counter any identified security weaknesses.

For example, the database listener is the front door into your database as all users connect to the database via the listener …imagine if that door could be shut, locked and the key thrown away by anyone on your network. Well by default, it can.

To protect against being vulnerable to database attacks and data leakage DSP has designed the following specialised services:

Database hardening
Database Auditing
Penetration testing
Intrusion detection
Database Vault implementation
Audit Vault implementation
Oracle Secure Backup implementation
Database encryption

The above list is not exhaustive and DSP offers a wide range of services that ensure your Oracle environment is secure.
