plenty of tools to help thwart attacks from database hacking

Guarding against database anti-forensics Database hacking has gone mainstream and is becoming harder to detect because of the increasingly sophisticated anti-forensic procedures hackers use to cover their tracks. Knowing forensics inside and out, as well as the tricks hackers use to foil forensics, is essential for professionals responsible for protecting the integrity of corporate data. Databases contain a high percentage of confidential data, yet many organizations lack the budget and management buy-in to implement protections. According to studies, 60% of organizations have experienced a breach in the past 12 months, 80% expect database attacks to increase and 40% on average fail security audits. There are plenty of tools to help thwart attacks -- such as vulnerability management products that include vulnerability assessment and user monitoring functionality -- but the trick is to deploy comprehensive solutions that help in forensics and provide visibility into how attackers cover their tracks.
