Database Security

Abstract

This chapter looks at a wide range of database security issues. It begins by looking at external security threats, those threats that are shared with the larger networked environment in which databases exist. The discussion continues with internal threats, those that are unique to databases. The following major section of the chapter covers general solutions to external security threats. The discussion of internal solutions includes the SQL GRANT statement. The final section of the chapter covers backup and recovery solutions.
