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.
