Abstract

The organizations' information hosted in databases is a very important asset and must be protected from cyber-attacks. In the investigation, threats than endanger the SQL Server 2016 Standard database engine were identified, and how it could exploit the present vulnerabilities. It is proposed to conduct a study of a Security Information and Event Manager (SIEM) to identify if it is a valid tool to reduce the attacks that critical data may suffer. Also, it was analyzed how a SIEM would contribute to comply with the controls of the Information Security Government Scheme version 2.0 (EGSI v2.0). It was demonstrated that a SIEM detected security incidents in the database in a timely manner such as: SQL injection attacks, force attacks, among others. It was also verified that it helps to comply with those EGSI V2.0 controls related to access control, operations security, and security incident management.
