Databases are critical for storing and managing sensitive data, and any breach brings the potential for huge operational, financial, and reputational damage. They are prime targets for attack so should be prime candidates for defensive measures.

Cyber database configuration

How we work

01. Initial Assessment

We begin by understanding your database architecture and identifying the databases to be reviewed.

02. Configuration Review

We examine the configurations of your databases, including user permissions, access controls, and encryption settings. This includes checking for secure settings, proper access controls, and appropriate use of encryption.

03. Vulnerability Assessment

We use automated tools to scan your databases for known vulnerabilities. This helps us identify common issues such as unpatched software, misconfigurations, and weak passwords.

04. Manual Review

Our experts perform a manual review of your database configurations to identify complex vulnerabilities that automated tools might miss. This includes checking for insecure protocols, improper access controls, and data leakage.

05. Policy Review

We assess your database security policies to ensure they are robust and effective. This includes reviewing your access control policies, data encryption practices, and incident response procedures.

06. Performance Review

We review the performance of your databases to ensure that security measures do not adversely affect their efficiency.

07. Reporting

We provide a comprehensive report detailing our findings, including vulnerabilities, risk ratings, and recommendations for remediation.

08. Remediation Support

We offer support to help you implement the necessary changes to secure your databases and improve your overall database security.
