Database Security controls
Database security encompasses multiple controls, including system hardening, access, DBMS configuration, and security monitoring. These different security controls help to manage the circumventing of security protocols.
Database Security Management
Database security is the technique that protects and secures the database against intentional or accidental threats. Security concerns will be relevant not only to the data resides in an organization's database: the breaking of security may harm other parts of the system, which may ultimately affect the database structure. Consequently, database security includes hardware parts, software parts, human resources, and data. To efficiently do the uses of security needs appropriate controls, which are distinct in a specific mission and purpose for the system. The requirement for getting proper security while often having been neglected or overlooked in the past days; is now more and more thoroughly checked by the different organizations.

System hardening and monitoring
The underlying architecture provides additional access to the DBMS. It is vital that all systems are patched consistently, hardened using known security configuration standards, and monitored for access, including insider threats.
Authentication
Database security measures include authentication, the process of verifying if a user’s credentials match those stored in your database, and permitting only authenticated user's access to your data, networks, and database platform.
Database auditing
Monitoring (or auditing) actions as part of a database security protocol delivers centralized oversight of your database. Auditing helps to detect, deter, and reduce the overall impact of unauthorized access to your DBMS.
Protect Your Enterprise
Safeguarding the data your company collects and manages is of utmost importance. Database security can guard against a compromise of your database, which can lead to financial loss, reputation damage, consumer confidence disintegration, brand erosion, and non-compliance of government and industry regulation.
Database security safeguards defend against a myriad of security threats and can help protect your enterprise from:
