Database Development

As databases continue to grow in size, complexity and importance, enterprises struggle to identify the most appropriate controls regarding their use and misuse. The most effective database security implementations will leverage controls across administrative, preventive and detective controls. The report identifies best practices, including: Implementing database activity monitoring to mitigate the high levels of risk from database vulnerabilities, and address audit findings in areas such as database segregation of duties and change management; using data security measures, such as data masking and data encryption; and monitoring privileged-user access and access to critical data. Gartner Inc., Jeffrey Wheatman, 29 November 2011.

In the never-ending race to stay ahead of the competition, companies are developing advanced capabilities to store, process, and analyze vast amounts of data from social networks, sensors, IT systems, and other sources to improve business intelligence and decisioning capabilities.This report will help security and risk professionals understand how to control and properly protect sensitive information in this era of big data.

Oracle introduces the new Sun Fire X4170 M2, the most versatile IT infrastructure building block server and the Sun Fire X4270 M2 server, the ideal server for clustered database and virtualized workloads.

Software-based virtualization products enable most all industry-standard server models to support workload virtualization. However, not all systems make the best virtualization platforms.

Virtually every server in a modern datacenter depends on network connectivity in order to access resources and provide services to clients. The best practice for enhancing network connectivity is to configure multiple physical paths to the network so that if a network adapter, cable, or upstream switch fails due to equipment problems or human error, the second path continues to carry traffic.
