Modern database security requires a data-centric approach that unites people, processes, and technology to defend against threats like ransomware, phishing, and insider risks. Trustwave outlines ten principles for effective program design: define actionable processes, discover and inventory databases, establish security policies, conduct vulnerability and configuration assessments, control excessive privileges, apply compensating controls, set user activity policies, audit privileged behavior in real time, use policy-based monitoring, and detect and respond to violations quickly. Trustwave DbProtect supports these steps by automating assessments, enforcing least privilege, monitoring activity, and alerting on anomalies, strengthening compliance and reducing breach risks.
