Guardium, the database security company, today announced its CTO, Dr. Ron Ben Natan, will be presenting at the 2009 San Francisco Information Systems Audit and Control Association’s (ISACA) Fall Conference. Dr. Ben Natan’s session, “Anatomy of Insider Data Breaches”, will be held on Monday, Sept. 21st from 3 to 4:30 p.m. at the Hotel Nikko.
Recent headlines showcasing massive breaches involving credit card information, as well as proprietary information, have heightened the industry’s awareness of insider threat. A recent survey by the Independent Oracle User Group (IOUG), reported unauthorized database access by inside administrators, or “super users,” often goes unnoticed inside organizations. These undetected intrusions can expose sensitive corporate and customer data and potentially cause billions of dollars in damage.
In his session, Dr. Ben Natan will detail practical examples of how insider breaches occur and discuss best practices for safeguarding critical enterprise databases against such attacks. Dr. Ben Natan will speak as part of the conference’s Strategies & Techniques track.
Dr. Ben Natan has more than 20 years of experience developing enterprise applications and security technology for blue-chip companies. Prior to Guardium, he worked for Merrill Lynch, J.P. Morgan, Intel and AT&T Bell Laboratories. He has also served as a consultant in data security and distributed systems for HSBC, Phillip Morris, Miller Beer, HP, Applied Materials and the Swiss Armed Forces. An expert on distributed application environments, application security, and database security, Dr. Ben Natan has authored 12 technical books including HOWTO Secure and Audit Oracle 10g and 11g (CRC Press, 2009) and Implementing Database Security and Auditing (Elsevier Digital Press, 2005), the standard texts in the field.
Dr. Ben Natan will share information regarding:
- The most common insider threats and how to prevent them
- Best practices for database monitoring and real-time protection
- Preventing unauthorized access to sensitive data with granular access controls
