DETECTION OVERVIEW
Risk Factors
After gaining access to a database server, an attacker can create simple SELECT SQL queries to search multiple tables in a database. For example, an attacker might be searching for tables with usernames and credit card information. As a result, an attacker learns where valuable information is located and targets databases for additional attacks.
The system might change the risk score for this detection.
Kill Chain
Risk Score
60
Implement the least privilege model for application accounts and remove root or system access on database accounts, which can help minimize potential damage
Implement strict audit controls that log every database change
