longDesc="IT Internet Metrics">Between data analytic requirements and
consolidation initiatives, there is a rapid increase in the use of structured
data storage, and the amount of data stored in this way. The information
stored in enterprise databases is increasingly sensitive and subject to legal,
regulatory and other compliance requirements. In addition, many
enterprises continue to rely on inadequate network and application-layer
controls, and perform only minimal monitoring on database storage
infrastructure.

Steps that CIO must take
- Evaluate your enterprise’s current database controls to identify gaps and
compensatory or mitigating controls for those gaps. - Conduct a database risk assessment, applying a balanced approach to risk
management and mitigation based on risk, criticality, and regulatory and other
compliance requirements. - Identify the monitoring use cases that apply to their enterprise’s
database infrastructure, and deploy tools to support those use cases
effectively and efficiently. - Develop and communicate a clear policy specifying what database-related
behaviors should be audited and why.
