Checking the spares
Ensuring application security
By taking the necessary security measures, both your corporate information and data as well as your customers’ information can be protected. It requires great seriousness as it should be done carefully.

What Threats Can Compromise a Database?
Attacks from digital environments are becoming a serious threat every day. Database attacks and database security are therefore of great importance. Because if precautions are not taken, attacks can lead to the database being compromised. This results in serious losses and a loss of prestige. In general, these threats are as follows;

Failure to manage user permissions: Each user in the database must be managed carefully and rights other than those required must not be granted.
Abuse of user rights: Some users may abuse the rights they have.
Weak points of SQL: If there are any open points or weak areas in your SQL Server, it will become the main target of attacks.
Weak system records: If regular records are not kept or if the security of the records is not strong, serious threats arise.
Storage: Live environments on the internet are generally highly secure, but these storage areas are often invisible, creating a starting point for attack.
DOS Attacks: These types of attacks cause denial of services.
Therefore, the company’s database should be examined in detail, the measures to be taken should be determined and appropriate solutions should be offered.

What is done in database auditing?
Before database attacks and database security solutions are offered, it is naturally necessary to audit the system and thus detect the problems. Otherwise, even if the solution is applied, the real important points and weak areas may be missed. Therefore, the audit is performed and the necessary actions are determined. These are as follows;

Authentication and access control: Controls when, with what method, and to what content people access the database.
Security activities audit: The list of unauthorized, suspicious actions taken on the database is examined.
Threat and vulnerability control: Database vulnerabilities are detected and special solutions are offered.
After such operations are carried out, a report can be obtained from the database showing what precautions should be taken. Then, it is compiled into a list and a priority order is determined. Finally, solution suggestions are presented based on those with high priority.
