Enterprises and organizations are rapidly shifting towards cloud-native environments for their business operations but there are many concerns about their security. Companies are turning towards managed service providers, strategic partners, and cybersecurity experts to bridge the gap between cybersecurity and cloud databases. Increasing incidences of data breaches have compelled key companies to develop robust solutions to address vulnerabilities in cloud databases automatically by leveraging machine learning, automation, and choosing powerful databases with self-securing abilities to minimize downtime for consumers.
Cloud database systems are subject to several threats such as data breaches, account hijacking, data loss, vulnerabilities in APIs, and cloud servers as malware platforms due to increasing amount of potentially sensitive information that is stored in the databases. It makes it imperative for administrators to understand where and how sensitive information is stored in the network to ensure each file type can only be accessed by proper individuals. Data encryption and masking techniques are often used to protect user data from unintended and unauthorized access which makes sure full access is only given to individual data owner. One of the best defense against unintended access and hacking is understanding the network vulnerabilities and how intruders can exploit them for their personal gains. In addition, security intelligence and event management technologies have been designed to facilitate active network monitoring and easy identification of weakness and vulnerabilities in defense systems for cloud databases.
Organizations can also increase incident response time and keep maximum amount of cloud data safe by maintaining strong, proactive understanding of network activity and infrastructure. Key companies are continually focusing on developing robust solutions.
