Title

SQL stored queries or procedures installed during Tanium installation must be removed from the Tanium Server. (Cat II impact)

Discussion

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.
