How Managed Database Security Enhances Compliance, Privacy, and Threat Defense for the Financial Services Sector

• Proactive Threat Defense for Financial Institutions: Trustwave's DbProtect actively identifies sensitive data locations and analyzes potential threat vectors, enabling immediate security measures like enhanced access controls and vulnerability prioritization.
• Advanced Offensive Security Measures: Trustwave's offensive security services, including penetration testing and Red Team exercises, simulate real-world cyber threats to expose weaknesses before attackers can exploit them.
