In a time when the average cyberattack costs a company $9.48 million, organizations are desperate for qualified database administrators and software professionals. Hackers are more innovative than ever before. Increased cybercrime means front-end applications and back-end databases must be finetuned for a strong security posture. Database and Application Security: A Practitioner's Guide is the resource you need to better fight cybercrime and become more marketable in an IT environment that is short on skilled cybersecurity professionals.
In this extensive and accessible guide, Dr. R.
