From the Paper:

"Introduction The Internet has spawned a breeding ground for web applications and database systems to perform e-commerce, e-banking, and e-government transactions. Database systems have become an integral and required component of the Internet ecosystem to store security sensitive information. Since database systems are now the foundation for all sensitive data operations, database security has become increasingly important in not only e-commerce on the Internet, but also for conducting normal business operations for almost any organization. Compromise of database security poses new business risks not realized before in corporate IT systems."
