Database Security: Current Challenges and Effective Protection Strategies

Database security has grown to a necessary level of importance today, characterized by the escalating demand for data storage. The surge in data storage requirements, propelled by technological advancements, has led to increased attacks targeting database security vulnerabilities. While multiple storage and protection methods have emerged in tandem with evolving technologies, the discovery of security vulnerabilities has led to new attack vectors. This study aims to repair this gap by securing and fortifying the security of stored data within databases. Fundamental to information security, the study highlights integrity, confidentiality, and accessibility in addressing database security concerns. The study aims to spotlight these issues and increase awareness about security problems and potential solutions. An analysis of the most common security problems in databases forms a central part of the study, accompanied by a discussion of viable solutions for these challenges. Moreover, the study delves into international security standards and secure models to counteract cyber-attacks targeting databases. © 2024 IEEE.
