Vulnerability discussion

Failure to protect organizational information from data mining may result in a compromise of information.Data storage objects include, for example, databases, database records, and database fields. Data mining prevention and detection techniques include, for example: limiting the types of responses provided to database queries; limiting the number/frequency of database queries to increase the work factor needed to determine the contents of such databases; and notifying organizational personnel when atypical database queries or accesses occur.

Check content

Consult with the Tanium System Administrator to determine the server to which the SQL database has been installed and is configured. If the SQL database is installed on the same server as the Tanium Server, this is a finding.

Fix text

Move the Tanium SQL database from the Tanium Server to a separate SQL server system.

Pro Tips

Lavender hyperlinks in small type off to the right (of CSS class id, if you view the page source) point to globally unique URIs for each document and item. Copy the link location and paste anywhere you need to talk unambiguously about these things.

You can obtain data about documents and items in other formats. Simply provide an HTTP header Accept: text/turtle or Accept: application/rdf+xml.
