While your team is correctly securing the environment where your database lives, they often lack the specialized knowledge to audit the database software itself. The CIS Benchmarks for operating systems and cloud platforms are comprehensive, but they don’t cover database-specific vulnerabilities. We go deeper, using the specific CIS Benchmarks for databases like Oracle, SQL Server, or MySQL to identify and remediate risks that a general infrastructure audit would miss. This ensures a complete security posture from the cloud or server all the way down to your most critical data.[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”What types of systems does XTIVIA help secure using CIS Benchmarks?” open_toggle_text_color=”#3955A5″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” border_width_all=”3px” border_color_all=”#00965E” box_shadow_style=”preset3″ box_shadow_spread=”-16px” box_shadow_color=”#FFFFFF” global_colors_info=”{}” toggle_text_color=”#3955A5″ toggle_level=”h4″ toggle_font=”|600|||||||” toggle_text_align=”left” open=”off”]XTIVIA helps secure databases (like Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL), cloud environments (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud), and operating systems (Windows, Linux) using CIS Benchmarks.[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”How does XTIVIA help with database security using CIS Benchmarks?” open_toggle_text_color=”#3955A5″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” border_width_all=”3px” border_color_all=”#00965E” box_shadow_style=”preset3″ box_shadow_spread=”-16px” box_shadow_color=”#FFFFFF” global_colors_info=”{}” toggle_text_color=”#3955A5″ toggle_level=”h4″ toggle_font=”|600|||||||” toggle_text_align=”left” open=”off”]XTIVIA assesses and remediates database security according to CIS Benchmarks to minimize data breaches, achieve regulatory compliance, and ensure sensitive data protection.
