Excerpt - According to Risk Based Security’s 2020 Q3 report, around 36 billion records were compromised between January and September 2020. 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 website security practices. The former involve physical steps, software solutions and even educating your employees. However, it’s equally important to protect your site to minimize the potential attack vectors that cyber criminals could exploit.
Let’s look at 10 database security best practices that can help you to bolster your sensitive data’s safety.
Excerpt - This puts the endpoint in endpoint security A key piece of the Wave alternative, Wave’s EMBASSY® Security Center is what lets you manage all the functions of your Trusted Platform Modules (TPMs) and self-encrypting drives (SEDs)—hardware security features already embedded in most business-class PCs and tablets. When installed on each of your desktops, laptops, tablets, and so on, this feature-rich software carries out the commands you issue remotely with our EMBASSY server products.
You can believe it works: Wave technology has been fully integrated with self-encrypting drives (SEDs) since 2007, and in 2012 Samsung licensed it for their TPM-equipped devices.
Strong authentication: beyond passwords Traditional two-factor authentication only adds security to the user side of authentication. The Wave alternative is far more secure: EMBASSY Security Center turns on the TPMs, or security chips, already inside your devices, so you can identify both the users and the devices they’re using. Is that really Bob accessing your quarterly sales numbers? And is he doing it with a secure device? It’s a superior way to protect your data from theft and your system from infection.
We won’t slow you down EMBASSY Security Center works in the background. It doesn’t interfere with day-to-day activities. When using a self-encrypting drive, integration with Windows gives you single sign-on (SSO) and password synchronization. That keeps your users happy. Not to mention your help desk—which will be spending a lot less time on the phone resetting forgotten passwords.
