  Adapting to the changing requirements, database management systems pursues to evolve. In this blog, I will show you the prominent difference between SQL vs. NoSQL vs. NewSQL. Sometimes back NoSQL was solution to the limitations initiate by the relational database management systems. NoSQL was originally designed to provide fast scalability when dealing with unstructured data platforms or handle Big Data applications. But with the dramatic change of the requirements, the major drawbacks discussed below was identified. That is where NewSQL stole the spot light. NewSQL is a relational database with the scalable properties of NoSQL which is the latest development in the world of database systems What is SQL Relational Database? The SQL, or Structured Query Language, is the standard query language for interacting with a relational database management system. From an external viewpoint, this means data is viewed as tables of rows and columns using a fixed schema, meaning each row has t...

  The terms "artificial intelligence" and "machine learning" are often used interchangeably, but one is more specific than the other. Artificial intelligence (AI) is the broader of the two terms. It originated in the 1950s and can be used to describe any application or machine that mimics human intelligence. This includes both simple programs, such as a virtual checkers player, and sophisticated machines, such as self-driving cars. Some in the field distinguish between AI tools that exist today and general artificial intelligence—thinking, autonomous agents—that do not yet exist. Machine learning describes a subset of artificial intelligence. This term arose in the 1970s. Machine learning is distinguished by a machine or program that is fed and trained on existing data and then is able to find patterns, make predictions, or perform tasks when it encounters data it has never seen before. Machine learning can be thought of as the process of converting data and experie...

  With a colossal surge in cyber-attacks and high reliance on technology in this digital age, ensuring the security of data and information have become a daunting task. Cyber threats are accelerating significantly even faster than the enhancements businesses are making. Computer networks have become bigger and their interconnectivity using a Wide Area Network (WAN) is worldwide due to globalization. It is hard for current IT security solutions to prevent cyber-attacks. According to Symantec’s 2019 Internet Security Threat Report (Volume 24), Formjacking attacks compromised 4800+ websites almost every month. Supply chain attacks also increased by 78% in 2018. Furthermore, more than 70 million records were also leaked or stolen due to poor configuration of S3 buckets. What is Network Security? SANS institute defines Network Security as the preventative measures taken to safeguard network infrastructure from unauthorized access, modification, malfunction, misuse, improper disclosure o...

  What is Database Security Database security is a difficult endeavour that needs the use of all security methods and technologies. This directly conflicts with databases' open access. We are more vulnerable to security problems the more usable and accessible the database is. Accessing and using it becomes more challenging the more vulnerable it is to threats and assaults. The following elements need to be covered and protected by database security. The data storage system. Database management systems (DBMS), including all related applications. Physical or virtual database servers, as well as the supporting gear. The network or computational infrastructure that is utilised to access the database. Common Threats and Challenges A security breach can be caused by numerous incorrect software setups, flaws, or habits of negligence or misuse. Here are a few of the most common types of security assaults and their causes. Database Software Vulnerabilities can be Exploited Hackers make mone...
