Abstract
A method by a security system for selectively triggering different ones of a plurality of database assessment scans for a database and detecting when non-compliant database configurations of the database are being used. The method includes monitoring for occurrences of a first class of database operations, responsive to detecting an occurrence of one or more database operations of the first class, selecting one or more subsets of the plurality of database assessment scans to be rerun, triggering performance of only the selected one or more of the subsets, identifying one or more non-compliant database configurations of the database based on accessing results of the selected one or more of the subsets, determining one or more security rules for detecting occurrences of database operations that make use of the identified one or more non-compliant database configurations, and applying the determined one or more security rules.
