As cloud services enter the Internet market, cloud security issues are gradually exposed. In the era of knowledge economy, the unique potential value of big data is being gradually explored. However, the control of data security is facing many challenges. According to the development status and characteristics of database within the cloud environment, this paper preliminary studies on the database security risks faced by the “three-clouds” of State Grid Corporation of China. Based on the mature standardization of information security, this paper deeply studies the database security requirements of cloud environment, and six-step method for cloud database protection is presented, which plays an important role in promoting development of security work for the cloud database. Four key technologies of cloud database security protection are introduced, including database firewall technology, sensitive data encryption, production data desensitization, and database security audit technology. It is helpful to the technology popularization of the grade protection in the security of the cloud database, and plays a great role in the construction of the security of the state grid.

Due to the development of cloud computing and NoSQL database, more and more sensitive information are stored in NoSQL databases, which exposes quite a lot security vulnerabilities. This paper discusses security features of MongoDB database and proposes a transparent middleware implementation. The analysis of experiment results show that this transparent middleware can efficiently encrypt sensitive data specified by users on a dataset level. Existing application systems do not need too many modifications in order to apply this middleware.
