I think you'll agree with me when I say that the words "database" and "intrusion" are not words you want to hear in the same sentence. Databases house critical information that needs to be kept private for our businesses and our customers - we can't have criminals exploiting gaps in our security and accessing this information.
Fortunately, we can take steps to stop intruders from getting in and catching them if they manage to sneak in anyway. Let's learn about these methods and how we can put them to good use to protect our valuable data. We'll explore two systems - the IPS and the IDS - and take a look at how they compare and what you should think about when implementing them.
