NeuShield Unveils Revolutionary Exfiltration Protection for SQL Databases

NeuShield today announced an update of NeuShield Data Sentinel Datacenter Edition that prevents a remote attacker from stealing database files from Microsoft SQL.

Hackers have adopted new strategies wherein they not only hold victim’s data hostage, but also engage in data theft for the purpose of extortion. Within corporate environments, significant amounts of highly valuable and confidential information are stored in local databases. Safeguarding the data from theft and unauthorized access is as important as shielding from ransomware attacks.

Companies often face issues with purchasing and deploying solutions to prevent data leakage due to their high cost, complexity, and management overhead. They typically require extensive configuration and customization. Moreover, managing these solutions generates significant data and alerts, burdening IT teams. Consequently, companies are often deterred from adopting existing solutions to prevent data leakage. With NeuShield’s Datacenter Edition companies can now easily protect their data from being stolen and corrupted without the high cost of management overhead.

Having Appropriate Ransomware Protection Is Crucial To Avoid Dangerous Data Loss Situations

Just as the computer has evolved over the years, so have the ways in which malicious people have tried to access and damage computer systems. These people of low standard want to benefit from piercing the protections surrounding a computer system so that they can find some kind of financial benefit. While there are multiple ways in which a person might try to use stolen data, one of the most popular with these criminals is ransomware. Ransomware is a specific form of malware which allows a hacker to get into a person or businesses’ files. From there, they encrypt them so that only the hackers have access. This can be devastating in certain circumstances. Consider a hospital which loses access to all of its patient records. When the hacker makes a monetary demand to allow the hospital to re-access the records, it’s tempting to give in and just pay. In order to avoid ransomware, the best thing to do is follow strong practices and have defense in place.
