Are you aware of the increasing threat of SQL injection vulnerabilities?In Q4 2022, AppTrana stopped 1,111,548 of these attacks. With over a million SQL injection attacks blocked in just three months, it’s clear that web applications are under siege. How to stay ahead of the game and protect your business now? Here is a guide to understanding this OWASP top 10 vulnerability and how to prevent SQL injection attacks.

A “SQL Benchmark” and a “SQL Server Benchmark” are related concepts, but they are not the same. The difference lies in the specific context and focus of the benchmarking process. SQL benchmarks can help compare the relative performance of different SQL servers or configurations.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.
