Security Fortified: Safeguarding Data with PostgreSQL Support Services

Data security is becoming a crucial concern for organizations of all types and sizes. With the increasing prevalence of cybercrime and data breaches, even small companies are finding it necessary to invest in PostgreSQL support services that can help them safeguard sensitive data while complying with industry regulations.

MongoDB Replica Set: A Developer's Tutorial to MongoDB Replication

There’s one thing every developer should do – prepare for the unknown. MongoDB is a NoSQL database widely used in web development, designed to handle unstructured or semi-structured data. MongoDB’s core concept revolves around storing data in flexible, JSON-like documents, allowing developers to easily use them for different purposes. Over 87,000 companies worldwide use MongoDB, and one of the standout features is its robust support for replication.

SQL server attacks: mechanisms you must know

SQL server attacks are one of the most painful attacks organizations can suffer. An organization’s database is one of its softest spots, with a wide surface area susceptible to attacks. This results in it being an attractive target of attackers. Neglecting your organization’s SQL server security is equivalent to having a bomb ticking in your organization’s IT infrastructure.

Getting started with query parameterization

When web applications rely on user-supplied data, there is a potential risk of SQL injection attacks. SQL injection is a technique used to alter a SQL statement by manipulating user input. Specifically, attackers send malicious SQL code to the database to bypass security measures and gain unauthorized access to data. The consequences can be severe, ranging from sensitive information leaks to complete system loss.

10 Dynamic Principles for Crafting a Robust Database Security Strategy

The digital world relies on data, which because of its considerable value, is constantly targeted by skilled cybercriminals who have spent years developing methods and tools to gain access to even the most secure databases. Never mind those databases whose owners only pay lip service to security. Traditional security approaches that focus on network perimeters are no longer sufficient in today's evolving threat landscape.

Rubrik Incremental Merge: A New Approach to Oracle Backups

When the well-renowned Oracle database started penetrating the enterprise, database administrators typically backed up to tape and disk, with the former being the preferred target. To support the various tape and disk vendors in the marketplace, Oracle came up with the concept of a media management layer that allowed vendors to provide front-ends to their tape or disk devices.

Honeypot Recon: New Variant of SkidMap Targeting Redis

Since Redis is becoming increasingly popular around the world, we decided to investigate attacks on the Redis instance. We didn’t have to wait long for the first results of the Honeypot. The trap caught an activity about which the Western world does not hear too often while analyzing SkidMap. More importantly, this variant turned out to be a new, improved, dangerous variation of the malware. Its level of sophistication surprised us quite a bit.

Unlocking AI Potential: Streamlining Database Access with Teleport

- Captivated by the capabilities of OpenAI’s ChatGPT, today, many of our data research friends are experimenting with tools and datasets to learn how Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Generative Pretrained Transformers (GPT) can be used to solve unique and challenging business problems. While many sample corpora datasets exist, experimenting on your production datasets is often needed but difficult due to access restrictions, challenging network configurations, or complicated approval processes.
