Anatomy Of A Database Attack (Josh Shaul & Alex Rothacker)

Synopsis: Traditional perimeter network security is not a sufficient enough means on its own to defend against dynamic threats to applications already residing on enterprise systems and accessible over the Internet. Web-accessed databases are especially susceptible, partially because of the appeal of their lucrative repositories of customer and sales data, and partially because IP entry affords hackers a broader range of methods with which to invade and gain access to database information.
In this presentation, the speaker will describe some of the sophisticated methods used in invading enterprise databases.
The speaker will conclude by proposing essential steps IT managers can take to securely configure and maintain databases in order to avoid malicious breaches entirely. Attendees will leave with a basic understanding of the most effective methods for protecting their data, which is really an enterprise's most prized asset, from attackers today and in the future.
The session will provide guidelines and best practices on security and compliance in a variety of database systems including Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, IBM DB2, and Sybase.
