- 8. 8 Aspects of Data Security Data Security Unauthorized access Data corruption Loss of access Data breaches (Un)intentional corruption Hardware failure Operator error Process failure Loss of encryption keys Network failure Disaster recovery Notification and compliance
- 9. 9 Key Concepts: AAA ● Authentication: verify the user is who they claim to be ● Authorization: verify the user is allowed access to the system and the data ● Auditing: record all database activity, including username and time
- 10. 10 KEY CONCEPTS: MULTIPLE BARRIERS ● Secure physical access to the host ● Limited access to the network ● Limited access to the database host ● Limited access to the database application ● Limited access to the data in the database
- 11. 11 DB Host Database files Data base Data base Data baseData access control: • Tables • Columns • Rows • Views • Security barriers DB Server Authentication: • Users • Roles • Password profiles Data Center Physical access Host access DB Server network access File system encryption Data file encryption Data encryption • Column based encryption DML/DDL Auditing SQL Injection Attack Prevention Encryption in transit w. host authentication Data redaction/masking Key Management System MULTIPLE LAYERS OF SECURITY
- 12. 12 MULTIPLE BARRIERS 1. Physical access (locks on doors, cameras, etc.): If a data center is not physically protected, all other data security measures become significantly less valuable. 2. Host access (Operating System controls): Securing access at the host-level ensures no users have unfettered access to the database host. 3. DB Server Network Access: Through Postgres’s hba.conf, connections to the database server can be controlled and limited. 4. File system encryption (through native Linux or third-party solutions): Encrypting the file system protects the files on the drive if the drive is stolen. Third party solutions can also leverage third- party key management systems
- 13. 13 MULTIPLE BARRIERS 5. SQL injection attack prevention: SQL injection attack prevention blocks corruption or co-opting of a database, including unauthorized relations, utility commands, SQL tautology, and unbounded DML. 6. Database authentication: Passwords, LDAP, Keberos, certificates or using operating systems credentials. Database authentication should be tied with overall user management to make sure access credentials get revoked when users leave the business or cease to be customers. 7. Database authorization and access control: Users must be granted permissions to view and work with data in the database. A principle of least privilege should be applied.
- 14. 14 MULTIPLE BARRIERS 9. File system encryption (native Linux or third-party): Encrypting the file system protects the files on the drive if the drive is stolen. Third party solutions can leverage third- party key management systems 10. Data encryption (pgCrypto): If a user gets past file system encryption, they can access a database that’s been logged into. Encrypting data at the column level keeps the database information secure. 11. Auditing: Track and analyze database activities, like the creation, changing, or deletion of data. EDB recommends auditing based on user connections, DDL changes, data changes, and data views. 12. Data redaction: Data redaction shields certain data elements from certain types of users, like Social Security numbers.

- 16. 16 ADVANTAGES OF EDB POSTGRES ● SQL Injection Attack Prevention ● Password Profiles: Complexity rules, expiration, etc ● Auditing: DML auditing for INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, TRUNCATE by user and database, syslog integration, etc. ⇒ Manage audit logs separately from server logs ⇐ ● Data Redaction (EPAS 11)
- 17. 17 Conclusions ● AAA: ○ Authentication ○ Authorization ○ Auditing ● Multi-layered security measures ● Protection and security includes: ○ Physical security ○ Network security ○ Host security ○ Application security ○ Data security
