Database Security

MalWare : Malware is short for “malicious software.” It is any software that is designed to harm or exploit a computer system, network, or device. There are many different types of malware, including viruses, worms, Trojans, ransomware, and adware. Malware can be installed on a device in a number of ways, including through email attachments, websites, and software downloads.

Insider Threat : An insider threat is a security risk that comes from within an organization. It can be an employee, contractor, or other individual with authorized access to the organization’s systems and data who intentionally or unintentionally causes harm to the organization. Insider threats can come in many forms, including theft of sensitive information, sabotage of systems, and violations of security policies. It is important for organizations to have measures in place to detect and prevent insider threats, such as employee training programs, access controls, and monitoring of employee activity.

SQL Injection : SQL injection is a type of cyber attack in which an attacker inserts malicious code into a database through a website input field, such as a login form or a search box. The goal of the attack is to gain unauthorized access to the database or to modify the data stored in the database. SQL injection attacks can be very serious, as they can allow an attacker to steal sensitive information from a database, alter or delete important data, or even take control of the entire database server. To protect against SQL injection attacks, it is important to use input validation and sanitization techniques, as well as to use prepared statements with parameterized queries whenever possible.

DDOS Attack : A DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attack is a type of cyber attack in which a website or online service is flooded with traffic from multiple sources in an attempt to make it unavailable to users. The goal of a DDoS attack is to disrupt the normal traffic of a targeted server, service, or network by overwhelming it with traffic from multiple sources. This makes it difficult for the targeted server or service to function correctly and can result in it becoming unavailable to users. DDoS attacks can be difficult to defend against because they often involve a large number of attacking computers, which can make it difficult to distinguish legitimate traffic from attack traffic. To protect against DDoS attacks, it is important to use network security measures such as firewalls and intrusion detection systems, as well as to have sufficient bandwidth and resources to handle high levels of traffic.
