This paper outlines some of the security issues that an IT department needs to have in place for their database systems. In today's technology driven world, databases and networks are vital to the furtherance of many business applications and transactions. The paper shows that unfortunately, with the advances in technology, comes the need to protect that technology in as many ways as possible from unauthorized access.
From the Paper:
"Database maintenance should include daily remote backup to maintain safe data in case of emergencies. There are many companies that provide remote backup services. Data transfer is usually done after hours through broadband internet connections. This will provide redundancy and remote copies if the main database is ever destroyed or compromised by ill intentioned hackers."
