აბსტრაქტი. This review paper presents an up-to-date examination of database security, a critical and dynamic component of information technology. We explore the spectrum of new threats databases face, from advanced persistent threats to sophisticated SQL injection techniques. The discussion extends to the integration of contemporary security protocols, the implementation of stringent access controls, and the adoption of advanced auditing procedures. We dissect the complex interplay between evolving security measures and the persistent efforts of cyber adversaries. Our analysis is aimed at equipping database administrators and cybersecurity professionals with a nuanced understanding of the current security landscape and the tools at their disposal to ensure data integrity and confidentiality.
