DISA’s Database STIG, in conjunction with both generic and product-specific checklists, provides a comprehensive listing of requirements and needs for improving and maintaining the security of Database Management Systems within the Department of Defense. This course fills in the context, background, and best practices for fulfilling those requirements and needs. As with all of our courses, we maintain tight synchronization between the latest DISA releases and our materials. The close ties between this STIG and the Applications Security and Development STIG are reflected in the coverage of application issues within the context of this course. A key component to our coverage of DISA’s Security Technical Implementation Guides (STIGS), this course is a companion course with several developer-oriented courses and seminars
Database Security is an intense database security training course essential for DBAs, QA, Testing, and other personnel who need to deliver secure database applications and manage secure databases within the DoD. In addition to teaching basic skills, this course digs deep into sound processes and practices that apply to the entire software development lifecycle. Perhaps just as significantly, students learn about current, real examples that illustrate the potential consequences of not following these best practices.
Data, databases, and related resources are at the heart of the DoD’s IT infrastructures, and must be protected accordingly. In this course, students repeatedly attack and then defend various assets associated with a fully-functional database. This approach illustrates the mechanics of how to secure databases in the most practical of terms.
Students who attend Database Security (STIG) will leave the course armed with the skills required to recognize actual and potential database vulnerabilities, implement defenses for those vulnerabilities, and test those defenses for sufficiency. This course quickly introduces students to the most common security vulnerabilities faced by databases today. Each vulnerability is examined from a database perspective through a process of describing the threat and attack mechanisms, recognizing associated vulnerabilities, and, finally, designing, implementing, and testing effective defenses.
Working in a dynamic learning environment attendees will learn to:
Need different skills or topics? If your team requires different topics or tools, additional skills or custom approach, this course may be further adjusted to accommodate. We offer additional STIG, application security, secure coding, secure software development, hacking, database security, bug hunting and other related topics that may be blended with this course for a track that best suits your needs. Our team will collaborate with you to understand your needs and will target the course to focus on your specific learning objectives and goals.
This is an introduction to database security course for intermediate skilled team members. Attendees might include DBAs, system administrators, developers and other enterprise team members. Ideally, students should have approximately 6 months to a year of database working knowledge.
