Scenario: During a security audit of a database, you find vulnerabilities related to unauthorized access. How should these access control challenges be mitigated?

Implementing role-based access control ensures that users are granted access based on their roles and responsibilities within the organization. This helps in restricting unauthorized access to sensitive data and functionalities. Regularly updating security patches and hardening the database server configuration also play crucial roles in mitigating access control challenges by addressing potential vulnerabilities and strengthening security measures.
