Dan Sarel & Slavik Markovich Of Sentrigo: Database Security For Smaller Businesses

If you thought only larger companies had to worry about database breaches, think again. Criminals are figuring out new, creative ways to break into all kinds of databases -- and they know that smaller companies are particularly vulnerable because they often lack in-house IT staff. That, plus pending legislation requiring companies of all sizes to adhere to publicizing database breaches that involve personal information, make the need for solid database security stronger than ever. Fortunately, there are tools to ensure just that and Dan Sarel and Slavik Markovich, VP and CTO, respectively, of database security company Sentrigo, know all about them. bMighty talked with the pair about why database security is more important than ever and what smaller companies can do, frequently for free, to ensure that private information stays that way.

bMighty: Are smaller businesses more vulnerable to database breaches?

Sarel: In many cases, in small and midsize businesses, their expertise is not necessarily IT. Many times they employ consultants, and this could be a security issue.
