USING DIGITAL RISK PROTECTION PLATFORM IN TIMES OF CRISES
THE MOST COMMON DATABASE SECURITY CHALLENGES
Databases are very attractive targets for hackers because they contain valuable and sensitive information. This can range from financial or intellectual property to corporate data and personal user data. Cybercriminals can profit by breaching the servers of companies and damaging the databases in the process. Thus, database security testing is a must.
There are numerous incidents where hackers have targeted companies dealing with personal customer details. Equifax, Facebook, Yahoo, Apple, Gmail, Slack, and eBay data breaches were in the news in the past few years, just to name a few. Such rampant activities raised the need for cybersecurity software and web app testing which aims to protect the data that people share with online businesses. If these measures are applied, the hackers will be denied all access to the records and documents available on the online databases. Also, complying with GDPR will help a lot on the way to strengthening user data protection.
