Abstract: Abstract In a housing-based outsourcing model, the database server is the client’s property and the outsourcing service provider only provides physical security of machines and data, and monitors (and if necessary restores) the operating condition of the server. Soft security-related aspects (e.g., DBMS security breaches) are the client’s responsibility. This is a non-trivial task for most of the clients.In this paper, we propose an extensible architecture for detecting, monitoring and preventing database security breaches in a housing-based outsourcing model. The architecture can help in dealing with both outsider and insider threats. It is well suited for the detection of both predefined and potential security breaches. Our solution to the database security breach detection is based on the well-known pentesting- and version checking-based techniques in network and operation systems security. The architecture features visual monitoring and secure auditing w.r.t. all database user activities in real time. Moreover, it also supports automatic prevention techniques if security risks are established w.r.t. the found security breaches.
