The Independent Oracle Users Group (IOUG) just released a database security survey of their members. As we've recently seen a lot, budget pressures are once again leading to increased risks. Organizations know there is a problem, understand it's getting worse, yet don't have the budget or resources to fix it. For instance, database breaches grew by 50% from last year to this. That's not a slight increase by any standard. Yet, the demand to do more with less has kept pace with the rise of the threats. And on top of that, database administrators see their biggest problems as internal threats, not external. While spending on security has fared somewhat better than most areas during the down economy, until things pick up significantly security is still going to take a back seat to other concerns.
