The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spiceworks.com\/it-security\/data-breaches\/videos\/data-breaches-can-companies-reduce-costs\/\">average cost<\/a> of a data breach is $4.2 million and 25% of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.americanchemistry.com\/better-policy-regulation\/safety-security\/cybersecurity\">all data breaches<\/a> are motivated by espionage or stealing commercial information. The downtime and remediation of a security breach may be monetarily costly, but often the reputational damage does more harm to an organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The bad actors who want to steal data and disrupt operations can attack from a myriad of vectors that target multiple system layers and components. In a world of continuously evolving cybersecurity threats, new vulnerabilities are identified regularly \u2013 and there are always the risks of unidentified vulnerabilities as well. Organizations must invest in security solutions that both prevent breaches and also provide \u201czero-day\u201d protection against vulnerabilities before they can be exploited. The first time a vulnerability is exploited it is called a \u201czero-day\u201d attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some organizations still primarily rely on reports and patches from their software vendor for protection against attacks, but this strategy may have several shortcomings:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Dangerous limitations<\/strong> \u2013 do not address custom code, unsupported releases, or unknown vulnerabilities<\/li><li><strong>Not timely<\/strong> \u2013 can take weeks, months, or even years to be delivered by a software vendor \u2013 and sometimes no patch is provided at all<\/li><li><strong>Labor-intensive<\/strong> \u2013 may require a product or technology upgrade and might need to be regression tested before rolling into production<\/li><li><strong>Ongoing risk <\/strong>\u2013 may not be adequate to sufficiently protect against an identified vulnerability<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Rimini Street is Already a Trusted Partner for Security<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thousands of organizations trust Rimini Street with supporting their mission-critical applications and data, and many of those clients have already expanded their Rimini Street relationship to include our global, innovative security solutions. The Rimini Street security portfolio, available to clients for years, includes solutions for proactively protecting our clients\u2019 Oracle and SAP applications, middleware, and databases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Defense in Depth Protections Are Essential<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In today\u2019s digital-first economy, organizations should build and maintain multiple layers of security \u2013 including protecting the database layer where critical data is stored \u2013 as a part of a \u201cDefense in Depth\u201d cybersecurity strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now Rimini Protect enhances a \u201cDefense in Depth\u201d strategy with full-stack solutions to achieve zero-day security protection against the threat of known and unknown, unreported vulnerabilities.

These services include security assessments, hardening and configuration guides, security roadmaps and security vulnerability analysis reports (SVARs).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Software Vendor Patching is Dated and Insufficient Protection<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to an Aberdeen Group market research <a href=\"https:\/\/www.riministreet.com\/resources\/research-report\/choose-virtual-patching-for-database-security\/\">report<\/a>, \u201ctraditional patching is a process that never ends\u201d because technology stacks continue to become more complex and the volume and frequency of vendor-supplied software patches are too overwhelming for IT staff to manage. In contrast, virtual patching \u201crefers to establishing a policy enforcement point that is external to the resource being protected and designed to identify, intercept, and remediate exploits of vulnerabilities before they reach their target.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cEnterprises that rely on dated software vendor patching models still find themselves vulnerable to attacks because patches address only known vulnerabilities. They do not protect against unknown vulnerabilities. Rimini Protect is one of the many innovative solutions from Rimini Street that help our clients take a smart path with their technology portfolio,\u201d said <a href=\"https:\/\/www.riministreet.com\/company\/leadership\/?utm_source=businesswire&amp;utm_medium=pressrelease&amp;utm_campaign=protect#gabe-dimeglio\">Gabe Dimeglio<\/a>, vice president and executive advisor, security at Rimini Street. \u201cRimini Protect goes well beyond typical software vendor patching to protect the entire environment of applications, middleware and databases using active security controls that monitor activities in real-time to identify malicious actions and proactively block processes that attempt to exploit known and new zero-day vulnerabilities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.riministreet.com\/company\/events\/webinar\/introducing-rimini-protect-zero-day-it-security-services\/?utm_source=businesswire&amp;utm_medium=pressrelease&amp;utm_campaign=protect\">Join Rimini Street CEO Seth Ravin and IT security experts<\/a> on July 28, 2022, as they discuss the evolving and escalating cybersecurity threat environment and how each organization can take control of its own cybersecurity defense with Rimini Protect security solutions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For years, Rimini Street has provided proven and proactive advanced \u201czero-day\u201d security solutions for our clients\u2019 enterprise software applications, middleware, and databases, and these solutions are now available with additional new offerings in the new Rimini Protect suite.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":50606,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[286,7411,54,2103,96,2727,1656],"class_list":["post-50605","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-biz-solutions","tag-it-security","tag-rimini","tag-security","tag-security-breach","tag-technology","tag-technology-adaption","tag-technology-investment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50605","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=50605"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50605\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/50606"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=50605"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=50605"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=50605"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
