Vulnerability discussion

If the DBN-6300 is installed incorrectly in the site's network architecture, vulnerable or unknown databases may not be detected and consequently may remain vulnerable and unprotected. For proper functionality of the DBN-6300, it is necessary to examine the discovered databases to see that an expected wide variety and number of them are covered. If the DBN-6300 is not able to see and detect database services, it will not be able to monitor the databases against threats.

Check content

Ask the site representative if the DBN-6300 is used to provide discovery protection against unidentified or rogue databases. If the DBN-6300 is not used for discovery protection against unidentified or rogue databases, this is not a finding. Click on the "Database" tab and select the "Database Services" sub-menu. This will reveal all of the currently discovered database services. If the DBN-6300, which is used to provide protection against unidentified or rogue databases, does not provide a catalog of all visible databases and database services, this is a finding.

Fix text

Configure the system to view databases and database services. Click on the Database >> Service Discovery tab. This will reveal all of the currently visible database services that have been seen on the mirrored traffic connection.

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.
