Private Security Database
Janise Knollman
Encrypts data at rest (transparent data encryption) with encryption built into the database kernel that protects against database bypass attacks with minimal operational or performance impact. Dynamically masks data during database queries (data redaction).
Encryption key management and secrets management, including passwords, SSH keys, Oracle Wallets, and much more. Oracle Key Vault is the only tested and certified key management solution for Oracle Database, and is available on-premises, in Oracle Cloud, and in most third-party clouds.
Control access to data using a mandatory access policy framework based on data classification and access classification assigned to a database user. Trusted by defense and national security organizations and used commercially to help satisfy fine-grained access control requirements.
Hackers can steal clear-text database data directly from the database, storage, exports, or backups. Most data privacy regulations require or encourage masking or encryption of data at-rest and in-motion. Oracle Database offers comprehensive encryption, key management, and masking capabilities that scale to enterprise-level workloads.
Privileged users manage databases, but should all of them be able to access sensitive data? Reduce data breach risk from hackers or misuse of insider trust. Enforce separation of duties and prevent data theft, even from accounts with compromised passwords. Use context-sensitive security policies to control sensitive database options.
A breach can be blocked or mitigated if inappropriate access attempts are detected quickly. Audit database activities and monitor SQL queries in real-time. Use built-in and customized reports to address compliance requirements.

Complex and focused threats tend to inflict incomparably greater damage than mass malware can generate. In the face of such a threat environment, the value of the security intelligence delivered by Kaspersky Security Network cannot be overestimated. Using real-time data from 80 million sensors globally, every object passing through IT systems protected by Kaspersky Lab solutions is subject to analysis based on the most relevant threat intelligence.
Kaspersky Private Security Network can be installed within your own data center; your in-house IT specialists retain complete control. So your IT infrastructure and SOC can enjoy all the benefits of cloud-assisted security without compromising on privacy, and in compliance with regulatory requirements that no item of data leaves your perimeter.
As well as creating your own URL and file reputations, you can now benefit from reputations and other information provided by external 3rd party systems - all feeding directly into your Kaspersky Private Security Network installation, with no intermediate steps, via an API. A new file reputation format is also supported, ensuring forward compatibility with future versions of Kaspersky Endpoint Security.
Professional help is available whenever you need it. Operating in more than 200 countries, from 34 offices worldwide, we have you covered 24/7/365. Take advantage of our Premium support packages, or call on our Professional Services to ensure that you derive maximum benefit from your Kaspersky Lab security installation.
Regulations concerning data-sharing should not result in compromised security due to being unable to access powerful security databases and crucial intelligence in real time. Attempting to function without such intelligence can result in:
My understanding is that in this case, the only way someone could get access to my data is if they got hold of information about the firebase instance, such as apiKey, database URL, authDomain. Is this true? (Or is there some other straightforward way people can get access to the data in this case, obviously not talking about hacking my computer/google account, etc.
Anyone who knows the URL to your project can now read, and write your data. They can delete your entire database with a single command. While this may be exactly what you want (which is why Firebase allows it), most applications need more controlled access to their data (which is why you get alerts from Firebase to that effect).
Your best option is to add Firebase Authentication to your app. With that you can ensure that you are indeed the only person using it. Right now your statement about that is an assumption based on your faith in nobody having access to your URL. By implementing authentication, you can actually ensure that you're the only person having access to the data.
This could be as simple as implementing anonymous authentication, which generates an ID for the user without requiring them to provide any credentials. If you then log that ID, you can restrict access to the database to that one user with rules like this:
I strongly recommend that you spend some time reading more about Firebase's security model and rules, and that you then secure your database. Not only will this get rid of the alert, but (more importantly) it ensures the data is only accessed in ways that you control.
Using API key, database URL, auth Domain and etc, your end application makes a connection with the server. In short, all your API keys, database URL, auth Domain and etc are openly available. But this is not a problem until and unless your security rules are in place to protect your data from getting explored. Read more about Security Rules.
This change has raised a host of questions regarding the commodification of security as a public good and the role of the nation-state in its traditional role as provider of security for its citizens. This project examines the global rise of the private military and security industry, with particular attention to the issues of legitimacy and accountability.
Possible responses to the increased use of private companies to carry out military and security services are explored within this project. Particular attention is given to the regulatory measures that may be taken on the national, regional and international levels, also in collaboration with external bodies.
SIPRI is an independent international institute dedicated to research into conflict, armaments, arms control and disarmament. Established in 1966, SIPRI provides data, analysis and recommendations, based on open sources.
As conditions of insecurity continue to challenge international humanitarian operations in many countries around the world, aid organisations have adopted a number of different measures in response. Among the most controversial of these measures has been the contracting of commercial entities to provide security services for operations and personnel. This study on the use of private security providers in humanitarian operations aims to establish an evidence base on the usage of commercial security entities by humanitarian operations.
Database security is the processes, tools, and controls that secure and protect databases against accidental and intentional threats. The objective of database security is to secure sensitive data and maintain the confidentiality, availability, and integrity of the database. In addition to protecting the data within the database, database security protects the database management system and associated applications, systems, physical and virtual servers, and network infrastructure.
To answer the question "what is database security," it's important to acknowledge that there are several types of security risks. Database security must guard against human error, excessive employee database privileges, hacker and insider attacks, malware, backup storage media exposure, physical damage to database servers, and vulnerable databases such as unpatched databases or those with too much data in buffers.
To achieve the highest degree of database security, organizations need multiple layers of data protection. To that end, a defense in depth (DiD) security strategy places multiple controls across the IT system. If one layer of protection fails, then another is in place to immediately prevent the attack, as illustrated below.
The cloud offers significant advantages for solving long standing information security challenges. In an on-premises environment, organizations likely have unmet responsibilities and limited resources available to invest in security, which creates an environment where attackers are able to exploit vulnerabilities at all layers.
The following diagram shows a traditional approach where many security responsibilities are unmet due to limited resources. In the cloud-enabled approach, you are able to shift daily security responsibilities to your cloud provider and can get more security coverage, which frees your organization to reallocate some security resources and budget to other business priorities.
Databases are prime targets for cyberattacks because they often store valuable, confidential, and sensitive information, including customer records, credit card numbers, bank account numbers, and personal identification numbers. Hackers use this information to steal identities and make unauthorized purchases.
Customers hesitate to do business with companies that don't protect their personal data. Database security issues that compromise customer information can damage the organization's reputation, resulting in a decline in sales and customer churn. To protect their reputation and rebuild customer trust, some businesses increase their investments in public relations, and offer credit monitoring systems to their data breach victims at no charge.
A data breach can halt or slow down business operations and revenue generation until the database security challenges are resolved, the system is completely up and running again, and business continuity is restored.
