STIG Security | Database Security (DISA STIG) (TT8820)

DISA’s Database STIG, in conjunction with both generic and product-specific checklists, provides a comprehensive listing of requirements and needs for improving and maintaining the security of Database Management Systems within the Department of Defense.   This course fills in the context, background, and best practices for fulfilling those requirements and needs.  As with all of our courses, we maintain tight synchronization between the latest DISA releases and our materials.   The close ties between this STIG and the Applications Security and Development STIG are reflected in the coverage of application issues within the context of this course. A key component to our coverage of DISA’s Security Technical Implementation Guides (STIGS), this course is a companion course with several developer-oriented courses and seminars. Database Security is an intense database security training course essential for DBAs, QA, Testing, and other personnel who need to deliver secure database applications and manage secure databases within the DoD.  In addition to teaching basic skills, this course digs deep into sound processes and practices that apply to the entire software development lifecycle.  Perhaps just as significantly, students learn about current, real examples that illustrate the potential consequences of not following these best practices. Data, databases, and related resources are at the heart of the DoD’s IT infrastructures, and must be protected accordingly.  In this course, students repeatedly attack and then defend various assets associated with a fully-functional database.  This approach illustrates the mechanics of how to secure databases in the most practical of terms.
