How can one secure database management?

Securing database management involves multiple strategies: implement strong access controls to ensure only authorized users can access the database; use encryption for data at rest and in transit to protect sensitive information; regularly update and patch database software to fix vulnerabilities; perform regular backups to prevent data loss; monitor and audit database activities to detect and respond to suspicious behavior promptly; and apply the principle of least privilege, granting users only the access necessary for their roles. These measures collectively enhance database security.
