Securing Your Database: DAP Audit & Protection

Database Audit and Protection (DAP) is a set of processes and procedures used to monitor, audit, and protect data stored in a database. DAP involves the use of software tools to detect, analyze, and report on any unauthorized access, modification, or deletion of data stored in a database. DAP also involves the use of encryption to protect the data from being accessed by unauthorized users. DAP processes are designed to ensure that data is secure from unauthorized access, modification, or deletion, and that all changes made to the data are tracked and logged. DAP also helps organizations comply with applicable laws and regulations, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). DAP is an important part of an organization's overall security strategy and helps to ensure that data is secure, accessible, and compliant with applicable laws and regulations.
