DATABASE SECURITY

Abstract

Ensuring the security of databases is a complex issue. The more complex the databases are the more complex the security measures that are to be applied are. Network and Internet connections to databases may complicate things even further. Also, each and every additional internal user that would be added can create further serious security problems. The purpose of this paper is to highlight and identify the main methods and facets of attack on a database, as well as ways to deflect attacks, through focusing on the delicate issue of data inference.This paper will examine the different topics related to database security and see the adaption of the research to the changing environment.
