Preventing Data Loss with Database Administration Certifications

August 22, 2019

data loss prevention

If your business handles information of any sort, database administration needs to be a pillar of your operations. Learn more about how to prevent information loss with database administration certifications.

Data loss doesn’t always occur due to a hacking incident or infrastructure failure. Sometimes, data can become lost or simply disorganized due to poor database administration, allowing files to be neglected and a system to become inefficient for staff members trying to access the data needed to complete their jobs.

This not only will greatly impact your company’s efficiency and output, but will also present as a glowing beacon to hackers or other nefarious individuals that your data is ripe for the taking, with such disorganization meaning that the leak will likely go entirely unnoticed, or only noticed when it is simply too late.

As almost all modern businesses work with some degree of sensitive information, this scenario simply isn’t acceptable, and could result in lack of consumer faith in your business, and even a media scandal.

With all this in mind, in this article we’ll be looking at how a well certified data administrator can help prevent this nightmare scenario.

What is Data Loss Prevention?

Otherwise known as DLP, data loss prevention is a series of tools, processes, and sometimes programs, that a database administrator can make use of to ensure that all data is accounted for and only able to be accessed by necessary parties.

DLP software is able to classify and encrypt sensitive data, protecting it from loss, corruption, or seizure, and alongside stringent administration protocols, ensures that every item in the database is organized, protected, and accounted for.

Why Use DLP Software?

  • DLP software enables administrators to monitor the location and usage of all data within the company
  • DLP software prevents accidental disclosure of sensitive information
  • DLP software prevents data theft
  • DLP software helps to protect a company’s consumer image was well as credibility
  • DLP software automatically encrypts sensitive information

Why You Should Have a Certified Administrator

  • A certified administrator will be knowledgeable of ‘best practices’ when it comes to the management and administration of a database
  • A certified administrator will be fully aware of the risks of poor data management, and will be able to work in a way that ensures these risks never come to fruition within your business.
  • A certified administrator will have up to date knowledge of the latest rules and regulations regarding data management and handling
  • A certified administrator will be knowledgeable and able to troubleshoot issues as they arise, as well as come up with solutions and improvements to increase efficiency
  • A certified administrator will be able to apply both practical and theoretical knowledge to their work
  • A certified administrator will be knowledgeable of the DLP software your business uses, which means they will be able to employ it correctly and efficiently
  • Because they are knowledgeable in the software, they will be aware if any fault in the programming occurs, and will be able to remedy the issue or notify the necessary parties of the fault
  • A certified administrator will be able to use DLP software to enhance their own performance, using it as a tool to help increase their productivity

Available Certifications

There is a whole host of certifications and qualifications out there to help ensure your database administrator is the best they can be, and many are tailor-made for the specific software your company uses such as:

  • MCSA SQL 2016 Database Administrator
  • MTA Database SQL Server
  • MCE Enterprise Administrator
  • MCA Azure Administrator
  • Microsoft 365 Certified: Security Administrator Associate
  • Microsoft 365 Certified: Modern Desktop Administrator

Before shelling out on certifications for your staff, you should always investigate the course content, ideally opting for those that are certified by Microsoft or another well-known party such as CompTIA or Cisco. You should also research which training options are best, such as training on campus or training from home.

A Combination is Essential!

When it comes to data loss prevention, it is important to remember that you need a combination of the correct software and a well-trained, certified database administrator to ensure the sensitive information your business carries is well guarded.

The DLP software on its own simply isn’t enough, as it needs to be monitored and updated to ensure it is functioning correctly. Without the correct care, even the most excellent software will become outdated, and may even spring a glitch or two.

A knowledgeable and certified database administrator, on the other hand, is more likely to achieve the successful result your business needs. Depending on the data your company handles, DLP software may not be essential, but an individual in charge of monitoring and maintaining your data definitely is. View DLP software as an extra quiver in a certified administrator’s bow, giving them greater ability to perform their job successfully, and not as a replacement for a well-qualified staff member. After all, having the most well-qualified and trained people in the right positions is how any business prospers.
