Database Server, System Data, System Information — How security gets compromised, How to take care of security, How to test & monitor your security provisioning

Security at data layer in the System.

When the system deals with the data. Security needs to be enabled at different places -

1. Database server(s).
2. Data stored in the database (like in Tables/Collections).
3. Data stored in the backup files.
4. Traffic to database server.
5. Who can do database ops & who can do what, also puts the system data in risk.

And few more scenarios….

I am putting forth the scenarios, how it can be compromised, how it security can be enhanced, and how it can be tested or monitored.
