More than 40% of large firms do not
monitor their databases for suspicious activity or do not know
if such monitoring occurs.

Ponemon Institute survey on behalf of data security firm
Application Security revealed there was an organisational
disconnect between the realisation of threats and the urgency in

The Ponemon Institute, a security research specialist, surveyed

The survey found that more than half of the firms that didn’t
monitor their databases ran more than 500 databases, illustrating
the potential threat.
