In this blog we will guide you step by step through using CloudCasa to backup and restore NoSQL databases such as MongoDB operating in your Kubernetes environment. Before we begin, let’s have some basic understanding of the database under test. NoSQL databases provide a variety of benefits including flexible data models, horizontal scaling, lightning-fast queries, and ease of use for developers.

Around 39 billion records were compromised between January and December of last year, according to Flashpoint’s 2022 A Year in Review report. While this result is quite staggering, it also sends a clear message of the need for effective database security measures. Database security measures are a bit different from network security practices. The former involves physical steps, software solutions and even educating your employees.

MySQL database is one of the most popular open-source relational database management systems, and it is a top choice for some of the world’s favorite websites and web applications including YouTube, Twitter, and WordPress. Handling so much data and protecting it is incredibly important to organizations.

An organization's database contains intellectual property, information on clients, product development, personal information on its workers, and in many cases, critical information on consumers. Therefore, it not only makes sense to fully understand how an attacker can threaten a database, but how to best defend against such an attack. So, what are those dangers? In no particular order, the most significant threats facing databases today are system, privilege, and credential threats.

Roles make it easier to grant and revoke privileges for users of a relational database. Rather than managing privileges for each user individually, you manage privileges for each role and all changes apply to all users who are assigned that role. Organizations often create multiple roles to suit their unique needs. However, most databases come with a pre-defined role called PUBLIC. In this blog, we explain what the PUBLIC role means in Oracle and key best practices for using it.
