One of the key issues that organizations are facing today is the state of their database security. The cost of unsecured data is not theoretical, but real. According to industry statistics, every compromised record, on average, costs a corporation $182* plus additional incalculable costs in the areas of public relations, shareholder value, and perhaps most importantly, customer trust.

For more than a decade, organizations have secured their networks and host operating systems by applying the vulnerability management lifecycle. This four-step methodology allows organizations to proactively manage risk by discovering the databases that are currently in place, identifying which vulnerabilities are present, prioritizing remediation based on value and risk, intelligently applying protection based on this prioritization, and tuning ongoing monitoring to contextually flag issues.
