The increase in enterprise data breaches, coupled with demanding compliance initiatives and regulations, has forced organizations to carefully examine their existing security strategies. With more and more attacks now targeting the database level, implementing comprehensive security has never been more critical. Josh Shaul and I have written a practical, step-by-step guide to implementing database security. By breaking that process into manageable activities, we’ve established a best-practices process that allows readers to prioritize and measure their progress toward overall security, risk mitigation and compliance goals.
