Sql Injection Attack, Cs674 Spring Session 2 2015

Why is it so important to have security for an organizations database? One reason will be to secure the organizations personal and confidentiality data information. Oracle has a database security software that enables a regulatory compliance for both oracle and non-oracle databases. Oracle has a powerful and a preventative detective security controls that will include database

From the Requirements for the Corporate Computing Function, the fifth computing facility fulfillment point reads, “Meet information requirements of management” (Stallings, 2009, p. 58). Stated in another way, this Chief Information Officer’s (CIO) mission statement’s component implies that company information can be utilized by management for a great deal of things. While the security of all company-owned data is immensely important to the success of the organization, some of the information carries significant value when used by

Without a doubt the profession of private security has evolved over time. Today if you were to ask group of Americans at what point in history did the need for private security became significant, you’re likely to receive one of the two answers. Half would say toward the ending of World War II, because many of the man returning from the war had prior military police training and acquired work within the private sector as private police (security). While the younger individuals within the group will likely respond, private security became significant after 9/11; due to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) being

Information security is the protection of information against accidental or malicious disclosure, modification or destruction. Information is an important, valuable asset of IDI which must be managed with care. All information has a value to IDI. However, not all of this information has an equal value or requires the same level of protection. Access controls are put in place to protect information by controlling who has the rights to use different information resources and by guarding against unauthorised use. Formal procedures must control how access to information is granted and how such access is changed. This policy also mandates a standard for the creation of strong passwords, their protection and frequency of change.

Information security enabled by technology must include the means of lowering the impact of intentional and unintentional errors entering the system and to prevent unauthorized internally or externally accessing the system  actions to reduce risk data validation, pre-numbered forms, and reviews for duplications. It is crucial that the mission plan include the provision of a disaster recovery and business continuity plan. On the other hand, there is much more intrusion activity today than ever before. Obviously, there is an increased concern for attacks through companies’ network in an effort to either commit malice or affect the integrity of an organization’s most valuable resource. Therefore, it is important that companies do not get complacent in their IT infrastructure security. The fact of the matter, there is no perfect system; however, it behooves organizations to protect their information by way of reducing threats and vulnerabilities. Moreover, Whitman and Mattord (2010) said it best, “because of businesses and technology have become more fluid, the concept of computer security has been replaced by the concept of information security. Companies

Modern organizations that utilize technology must now use their resources to protect themselves from malicious cybercrime activities. A “hacker” could illegally intrude into an organizations information network and use accounting software to mine information and steal assets at a relatively low risk of being caught.

The Aim Higher college has recently had some issues of sensitive information being stolen from students when registering for classes. I believe that the web application that the student information system is using is a problem named SQL injection. A SQL injection attack is an attack where the attacker can run malicious SQL queries against a web application’s database server and it can be a danger for the users who access the web page because the hacker will look for their personal information records, then delete it or modify the information gained. This type of attack is no joke we have to take action and create a plan to resolve this vulnerability on our database, so the students will register for their courses with our security on their side.

The use of SharePoint® as a document and process control system is in high demand. Apparently, according to AIIM, while 60% of organizations are storing their confidential documents in SharePoint®, 12% are storing secret, and 4% top secret documents.

How private security has evolved, from its roots in Feudalism to its current state, and include supporting explanation.

Ensuring data security within your organization is crucial if you are to remain compliant against the increasing data security regulations, as well ensuring that you maintain a good relationship with your customers and prospects. Data security concerns the protection of data from accidental or intentional but unauthorized modification, destruction or disclosure through the use of physical security, administrative controls, logical controls, and other safeguards to limit accessibility. Protecting your customer information and ensuring full confidence in your data security measures will put you in good stead for protection against data loss and data security breaches. Data is the raw

SQL injection attacks pose a serious security threat and it has become a predominant type of attacks that target web applications utilizing the backend databases. It allows attackers to obtain unauthorized access to the database and retrieve potentially sensitive information. These attacks are launched through specially crafted input to trick the database into executing any SQL queries. In this paper I will present a review of different types of SQL injection and how they could be performed. I will also analyze some of prevention techniques available to mitigate the SQL injection attacks. Finally, I will discuss why it is very important and needs considerable attention.

Database security and protection is a significant concern for organizations across the world, evidenced by the number of reported incidents with regards to unauthorized exposure to sensitive information. As the amount of data that organizations collect, retain and share continues to escalate, so does the importance of having a strong database security. The Privacy Rights Clearinghouse, a website that keeps track of data breaches that were reported by companies, according to its research more than 159 million records were breached in 2015 through the course of 226 separate breach events. With the loss of unprotected data, can result in steep expenses for a company such as legal fees, call centers, customer losses, and the ambiguous amount of bad publicity. A Forrester Research survey concluded that an average security breach can cost a company between $90 and $305 per lost record. Given the increase number of data breaches, there is a corresponding need to properly plan ways to better protect and monitor the database systems through access control, SQL injection prevention, and encryption of data.

According to Rouse (2006), “Computer databases typically contain aggregations of data records or files, such as sales transactions, product catalogs and inventories, and customer profiles” (Rouse, 2006). Databases can hold a sufficient of information that are deemed

Database security is vital for any and every organization which uses databases. Without proper security, the databases can be breached and the breaches can lead to confidential information being released. This has happened to many organizations whether they are large or small; for example, in the past few years Target and Sony both fell victim to database breaches. To make matters worse both Target and Sony were actually warned about the flaws in their security, but neither took any action to resolve the flaws. Looking into these breaches and how they were handled could lead to designing better databases. Organizations should also look within themselves to assure all employees know good security practices. Simply following regular procedures such as installing antivirus software and firewalls can help create more secure databases. An organization should look at all of their databases to ensure the same top level security is established for all of their databases.
