Loop Wholes in Database By: Bindu Priyanka Ganta
I. Abstract Database security mainly concerns with protecting data and the applications of the databases that are stored. In the realms of Information security and computer security, the database security is the special topic. Database administrators may also be responsible for misconfiguration of controls within the software where database is stored. Database monitoring is also an important security layer. Electronic signatures and encryption and many other new technique are introduced to protect databases. Over the years, the database security has developed a very large number of different techniques to assure integrity, availability, and data confidentiality. However, there are also threats, which are related to these databases. The threats take advantage of the loop wholes in these databases. As discussed earlier in the outline about how this security issue has brought huge problems in the company. Databases are the integral part of the company because it contains a lot of sensitive information about the company and even the information of their clients is stored in these databases. Therefore, their security is of high importance and each company in the market should consider it, as the world is becoming a data oriented.1
SQL Injection – an input validation attack specific to database applications where SQL code is inserted into application queries to manipulate the database.
Each distributed DB perform some procedures to protect the data from any threats may occur through transactions. First is access control methodology which prevent unauthorized access to data. Second, inference control which prohibit users from inferring confidential data of other individuals using queries. Finally, flow control to prevent information from flowing to unauthorized persons in a way that violates organization policies.
In today’s IT world every organization has a responsibility to protect the information and sensitive data they have. Protecting data is not only responsibility of security and IT staff but every individual is involved in protecting the information. The risks to information security are not digital only, but it involves technology, people and process that an organization may have. These threats may represent the problems that are associated to complex and expensive solution, but doing nothing about these risks is not the solution.
Security is very critical section in Distribution DBMS concerning credit card data and customer’s data.
Recently at Rockville high school a 14 year old girl was raped by two older kids in the bathroom. Because of this incident, Montgomery County has realized how poor the security is in each school. They are enforcing new rules to make the schools more secure. I agree with the new change in security because some schools might not have security cameras or guards to protect the school. But, some people also don’t agree with the new rules.
Firstly I will like to talk about the Microsoft SQL Server. According to Vincent (July 2010) Microsoft SQL Server is a relational database managing software developed by Microsoft. Since many years back (1989) the SQL Server has been experiencing a lot attacks. For example
“The practice of keeping data protected from corruption and unauthorized access” is known as data security (SpamLaw, 2011). The focal point of data security is the protection of
Research Objective: The main theme of this research paper is to protect sensitive information that any organization or business possess. With community’s increasing reliance on information systems and technology there is scope for security breaches, more likely to happen. Not only monetary loss it can create damage to information assets that has sensitive data. To secure these assets from any internal or external damage organizations has to follow proposed rules and guidelines. Also security responsibilities
The second section in this lab builds on Lab 3. It is best to complete Lab 3 first before
Our week 2 lesson stated that there are several steps to the research process, Chamberlain College of Nursing (CCN, 2015). My intent was to follow the instructions to the best of my ability. For some reason, I had varied off course and now I am trying to bounce back.
What is a database? According to our book, it’s an organized collection of logically related data. The information collected in a database can be effortlessly administered and accessed. However, with each database there is a concern of security. According to our book, the goal of database security is to protect and prevent data from unintentional or deliberate threats to its integrity and accessibility. The database environment has grown more complex, with distributed databases located on client/server architectures and personal computers as well as mainframes. Access to data has become more open through the Internet and corporate intranets and from mobile computing devices. As a result, managing data security has become more difficult and time-consuming.
It is every company mandatory requirement to make sure sensitive data is protected from public access at all times. In large organization sensitive information such as employee salary and performance should be kept confidential from most of the DBA users. For this DBMS uses database security and authorization subsystems that is responsible for security to the portions of database or to restrict the access to the sensitive information.
Data systems such as the web application and data servers are faced by a number of threats, some of these threats are discussed below:
With advances in technology constantly happening, it can be hard to keep up with all of the latest trends. If organizations cannot keep up with the latest trends, it can lead to flaws in their security. Any flaws in security can have a detrimental effect on an organization’s database. Almost every organization has some sort of database, whether it is for maintaining customers, inventory, or vital information.
Almost all kind of large and small organizations might face increasing number of attacks into their network or intellectual property. This may lead to data disclosure, data destruction, and damage of organization’s reputation. There are numerous threats in the cyber space which might be capable of stealing, destroying or making use of out sensitive data for financial and non-financial gains. As the amount of computer, mobile and internet users increases, so does the number of exploiters.
