Application Security, Inc. Hosts Database Security Best Practices Web Seminar

Business Wire, Feb 11, 2008

NEW YORK -- As databases are the vital organs of every company, and now, more than ever, need to be protected from internal and external threats, Application Security, Inc. offers a best-practices web seminar, detailing preventative measures that companies can and should take in order to proactively protect their data and themselves.

According to Forrester Research, 70 percent of all database breaches are internal1 - whether or not they are malicious. By applying a set of best practices, organizations can greatly decrease their risk of data loss and proactively work to avoid operational disruptions, confidentiality violations and national security risks. In addition to the obvious implications of lost sensitive data and an injured reputation, strict regulation and compliance mandates, such as SOX, FISMA, PCI, HIPAA and GLBA make database security a top priority.

During this session, attendees will learn how to:

* Identify the emerging database threats for 2008 and beyond

* Implement security best practices at the database level to rapidly address risk

* Meet compliance requirements for databases - including security configuration items, elimination of vulnerabilities and other issues mandated by PCI, SOX and other key initiatives

* Apply common IT frameworks for security control standards

* Prepare for security and compliance audits and protect sensitive data

Maintaining a secure database is essential to the longevity and reputation of every company. Ted Julian, vice president of marketing, Application Security, Inc., and Josh Shaul, leading database security expert and director of implementation services, Application Security, Inc., will address in detail the critical components of best practices regarding database security, as well as the fundamentals of it.

PRESENTERS:

Ted Julian, Vice President, Strategy and Marketing, Application Security, Inc.

Josh Shaul, Director, Technology Strategy, Application Security, Inc., and also Co-author of Practical Oracle Security (Syngress Press)
