Title: Database Security and Encryption

Slide 1: Introduction

 What is Database Security?

 Protecting databases from threats like unauthorized access, corruption, or theft.

 Importance: Safeguards sensitive and critical data.

Slide 2: Key Components of Database Security

 Access Control

 Authentication

 Authorization

 Encryption

 Backup and Recovery

 Auditing and Monitoring

Slide 3: Threats to Database Security

 SQL Injection Attacks

 Malware

 Insider Threats

 Privilege Abuse

 Unpatched Vulnerabilities

Slide 4: Access Control

 Controlling who can access the database.

 Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)

 Discretionary Access Control (DAC)

 Mandatory Access Control (MAC)

Slide 5: Authentication

 Verifying user identities.


 Methods: Passwords, Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), Biometrics.

Slide 6: Authorization

 Granting permissions to authenticated users.

 Fine-grained access: Restrict based on user roles and operations.

Slide 7: What is Encryption?

 Process of converting data into unreadable format.

 Protects data at rest and in transit.

Slide 8: Importance of Encryption

 Prevents data breaches.

 Ensures privacy and compliance with regulations (GDPR, HIPAA).

Slide 9: Types of Encryption in Databases

 Transparent Data Encryption (TDE)

 Column-Level Encryption

 Application-Level Encryption

 Backup Encryption

Slide 10: Transparent Data Encryption (TDE)

 Encrypts entire database storage.

 Invisible to applications.

 Common in SQL Server, Oracle.

Slide 11: Column-Level Encryption

 Encrypts specific sensitive columns.

 Example: Encrypting credit card numbers.

 Provides more granular security.

Slide 12: Application-Level Encryption

 Data is encrypted before reaching the database.

 Application handles encryption and decryption.


 More control but added complexity.

Slide 13: Backup Encryption

 Encrypts database backups.

 Protects against data theft during storage or transfer.

Slide 14: Key Management

 Securely handling encryption keys.

 Key rotation, secure storage (Hardware Security Modules - HSMs).

Slide 15: Database Auditing and Monitoring

 Tracking access and changes to data.

 Tools generate logs and alerts for suspicious activities.

Slide 16: Best Practices for Database Security

 Regularly update and patch databases.

 Use principle of least privilege.

 Implement strong authentication methods.

 Encrypt sensitive data.

 Conduct regular security audits.

Slide 17: Compliance and Legal Requirements

 GDPR: Protects personal data in Europe.

 HIPAA: Protects health information in the U.S.

 PCI DSS: Secures payment card information.

Slide 18: Challenges in Database Security

 Balancing security with performance.

 Complex key management.

 Insider threats.

 Evolving cyber threats.

Slide 19: Emerging Trends in Database Security


 Use of AI for threat detection.

 Homomorphic Encryption.

 Blockchain for secure transactions.

 Zero Trust Architectures.

Slide 20: Case Study: Data Breach Example

 Example: 2019 Capital One Breach.

 Cause: Misconfigured firewall and poor access control.

 Lesson: Importance of layered security.

Slide 21: Conclusion

 Database security is critical for protecting sensitive data.

 Encryption is a vital tool but must be part of a larger security strategy.

 Ongoing vigilance and adaptation are key to defense.

Slide 22: References

 Microsoft Documentation on TDE

 Oracle Database Security Guide

 OWASP SQL Injection Guide
