Database Auditing:

Database Security Principles and Best Practices

Authentication and Authorization: Implement robust user authentication mechanisms and assign
appropriate access privileges based on roles.

Encryption: Utilize encryption techniques to safeguard sensitive data at rest and in transit.

Backup and Recovery: Regularly back up data and establish recovery procedures to prevent data loss
or corruption.

Patch Management: Keep database systems updated with the latest security patches and fixes to
address vulnerabilities.

Auditing Database Access, Queries, and Modifications

Access Auditing: Monitor and log database access attempts, including successful and failed logins, to
track user activity.

Query Auditing: Record and analyze executed queries to ensure they align with established policies
and business requirements.

Modification Auditing: Track changes made to the database structure or data, including inserts,
updates, and deletions.

Identifying and Preventing Unauthorized Database Activity

Access Controls: Implement strict access controls and limit privileges based on the principle of least
privilege.

Regular Audits: Conduct regular audits to identify irregular patterns, potential threats, or
unauthorized access attempts.

Monitoring Tools: Use database monitoring tools to continuously monitor and analyze database
activities for anomalies.

Alerting and Response: Set up alerts and automated responses to promptly detect and mitigate
unauthorized activities.
