Database Software Vulnerabilities can be Exploited

 



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.

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 money by locating and taking advantage of weaknesses in software, such as database management systems. To address these flaws, the top database software providers and open-source database management systems regularly release security updates. However, delaying applying the updates could make it more likely to be hacked.

SQL/NoSQL Injection Attacks

The injection of false SQL and other non-SQL string attacks into queries for databases given by web-based apps and HTTP headers is a particular threat to databases. Companies are vulnerable to attacks utilising these techniques if they don't follow safe coding practises for online apps and do frequent vulnerability tests.

Large Language Models and Vector Databases for News Recommendations

Image
  Large Language Models   (LLMs) generated a global buzz in the machine learning community with recent releases of generative AI tools such as Chat-GPT, Bard, and others alike. One of the core ideas behind these solutions is to compute a numerical representation of unstructured data (such as texts and images) and find similarities between these representations. However, taking all of these concepts into a production environment has its own set of machine learning engineering challenges: How to generate these representations quickly? How to store them in a proper database? How to quickly compute similarities for production environments? In this article, I introduce two open-source solutions that aim to solve these questions: Sentence Transformers  [1] : an embedding generation technique based on textual information and; Qdrant : a vector database capable of storing embeddings and providing an easy interface to query them. These tools are applied to NPR [2], a News Portal R...

Memory Management in Flutter: Best Practices and Pitfalls

Image
  Flutter, with its promise of “write once, run anywhere,” has become the go-to framework for many developers. As with any platform, efficient memory management in Flutter is crucial to ensure fast performance, responsiveness, and a seamless user experience. While Dart, the language behind Flutter, comes with built-in garbage collection, a thorough understanding of memory management can help avoid common pitfalls and enhance app performance.  Let’s delve into the best practices and potential traps in Flutter memory management. Why is Memory Management Important?Performance: Efficient memory usage ensures faster app operation and smooth animations. Resource Conservation: Mobile devices have limited memory. Optimizing memory use ensures that other apps on the device run smoothly. User Experience: An app that efficiently manages memory reduces the chances of crashes and enhances user satisfaction. Best Practices:Leverage Dart’s Garbage Collection: Dart automatically deallocates o...

NIH autism database announcement raises concerns among researchers

Image
A new research initiative from the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) seeks to gather and analyze multiple autism-related datasets to better understand the underlying causes of the condition. Letters of intent are due tomorrow, but the project’s atypical call for applications has autism scientists divided on whether or not to participate. The Autism Data Science Initiative provides $50 million for an anticipated 10 to 25 projects, according to the 27 May announcement. The funding opportunity uses an Other Transaction (OT) funding mechanism, which tends to be implemented when, among other reasons, a project is expected to evolve over time, more collaboration is required from the NIH or nontraditional research groups are involved, according to an NIH website. For a field that has recently seen budget cuts, some researchers are welcoming the opportunity for funding, says   Helen Tager-Flusberg , director of the Center for Autism Research Excellence at Bosto...
