To get a clearer picture of this essential security practice, we’ll look at its different types, how the practice is changing, and how vulnerability assessment tools fit into your overall approach to managing application security. That said, vulnerability databases such as CVE , help identify known vulnerabilities.

With database high availability (HA), services are largely uninterrupted, and end users are largely satisfied. The obvious answer is this: To achieve high availability.

In both cases, when using virtually-synchronous replication, the process will require certification from each node and local (by node) write; as such, the number of writes is NOT distributed across multiple nodes but duplicated. Also, in the case of multi-Primary, the writes will be distributed by transaction. The POC Why this POC?
