According to the Identify Theft Resource Center (IRTC), data breaches have reached an all time high. Between January 1st and June 27th, the total number of data breaches recorded by the ITRC was 342, a 69 percent increase from the same period in 2007.1 By properly implementing compliance frameworks and applying a set of database best practices, organizations can significantly decrease their risk of data loss and confidentiality protect against violations. This will also help to limit their susceptibility to violating strict regulation and compliance mandates, such as SOX, FISMA, PCI, HIPAA and GLBA.
During this informative session, attendees will learn how to:
- Apply common frameworks for security control standards including ISO 27001 and NIST 800-53, 800-53A
- Identify how compliance frameworks = stronger security
- Translate IT frameworks across multiple requirements such as SOX, PCI DSS, HIPAA and DISA-STIG
- Address and eliminate data risks across the enterprise
- Improve audit performance and streamline preparation
- Identify and correct new and emerging database vulnerabilities
Maintaining a fully-compliant and secure database is critical to the livelihood and reputation of every company. Noel Yuhanna, principal analyst, Forrester Research; Toby Weiss, president and chief executive officer, Application Security, Inc.; and Rob Barnes, director of audit and compliance operations, Application Security, Inc. will lead this discussion around addressing systematic implementation of compliance database framework.

“All enterprises are required to operate within the framework of complex industry compliance standards, so it’s vital that they understand how these requirements work, how to address them and how to best ensure they’re translatable across multiple standards,” said Rob Barnes, director, enterprise audit operations, Application Security, Inc. “The upcoming revisions to the PCI DSS standard further validate this need, making this Webinar a timely and useful resource for organizations that must comply. If enterprises can successfully grasp and meet their industry’s compliance standards, it will empower them with a stronger security infrastructure – particularly at the database level – helping them to eliminate data risks, improve audit performance and streamline preparation.”
