Description

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.
