Azure Databases Security - Secure your SQL,CosmosDB in Cloud

Hackers attack databases to gain access to personal data, perhaps to use it for personal gain or for some illegal practice, therefore it is mandate for an organization to adopt database monitoring and security as one of its PRIMARY CONTROL

Moving a database to a cloud computing environment, there is a need to identify security requirements. In a cloud computing environment where dynamically virtually scalable resources are available for use over the Internet  Database security is a challenge due to virtual set up and use. Security is critical due to the varied IT services that can be provided through a cloud.

The use of the cloud computing environment to cater to the demands of users in the internet has made database security a critical issue. Database Security is a critical issue in cloud computing due to the variety of IT services that can be provided through a cloud environment. In this course we will discuss various methods with the help of which you can ensure database security. You will learn how to ensure data confidentiality, integrity and availability on any databases. We will discuss all methods which Microsoft offers to protect  databases systems  against potential threats. Techniques like Cryptography, secret key methods, digital signatures and certificates are introduced as means to protect databases.

There are techniques and approaches currently used for database security. Monitoring, electronic signatures, vulnerability assessment, data masking, encryption, are all currently available to protect data when transmitted across sites and enforcing access control based on policies set for database inquiries.

Since there is huge range of cloud-based database solutions available in Azure, there can doubts around the authentication, authorization and encryption for services.
