Database Audit and Protection (DAP)
Database audit and protection (DAP) tools provide complete security for relational database management systems (RDBMS). A relational database is a database that stores data and allows access to related data points. Databases need to be monitored for performance and intrusions from outside sources.
What Small and Midsize Businesses Need to Know About Database Audit and Protection (DAP)
All businesses need these software tools to protect their information, often through auditing. SMBs can become vulnerable when they install a new database that comes with default users and passwords. For instance, some database users may be able to edit or change data and permissions on default schemas. DAP helps businesses detect these potential breaches so that they can be corrected.
