What are the common types of database security risks? Common database security risks include: ● SQL Injection: Malicious queries that can compromise the database if the input is not properly validated. ● Unauthorized Access: Users gaining access to sensitive data without permission. ● Data Breaches: Exposing sensitive data due to insufficient encryption or weak
ccess controls.
- Privilege Escalation: Attackers gaining elevated permissions or access levels.
- Malicious Insiders: Employees or authorized users intentionally or unintentionally
leaking or modifying data.
- Denial of Service (DoS): Attackers overwhelming the database with requests,
making it unavailable to legitimate users.
- Backup Exposure: Unencrypted or improperly secured backup files that are
ccessible to unauthorized users.
