Abstract
This paper shows how important database security is for protecting companies against risks, such as cracking, worms, viruses, web site defacement, unauthorized disclosure of confidential information, and more. The paper also outlines the minimum steps that must be taken to ensure effective security against these crimes.
From the Paper
"A recent report by the Computer Security Institute (CSI) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) reveals that of 508 companies surveyed, mostly large corporations and government agencies, 90 percent detected computer security breaches within the past twelve months (Savage, 2003). Eighty percent acknowledged financial losses due to these computer breaches. And the 223 respondents that quantified their financial damages suffered a total loss of $456 million. These statistics show the dire need for database security in both large and small companies."

Abstract
This paper explains that database security is the protection of the database against unauthorized access, either intentional or accidental; security countermeasures should combat threats and the outcomes of such threats. The author points out that physical security means that a SQL Server system is running in a controlled-access environment in which only approved personnel have physical access to the system; whereas, appropriate physical security means that SQL Server should be isolated from web infrastructures and direct Internet access. The paper concludes that network and operating system security are not sufficient to defend against dynamic threats to a web application; therefore, database and web application server techniques are a necessity, but even with these extra layers of security in place, there's no such thing as a full-proof security system.

From the Paper
"Access control prevents unauthorized persons from accessing a system to either obtain information or make changes. Like most databases, Microsoft SQL Server handles access control by allowing the creation of user accounts and passwords to control log-in. Additionally, Microsoft SQL Server supports the use of Windows NT Integrated Security where users are identified to the database by their Windows NT user accounts rather than user ID and password to access the database. Chapple states that this approach offers both the benefit of shifting the burden of account management to the network administration staff and it provides the ease of a single sign-on to the end user."

Abstract
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."

Database Management Systems and Security, 2008.
This paper discusses databases as they relate to corporate use and security strategies.
2,540 words (approx. 10.2 pages), 7 sources, APA, $ 76.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper states that current technology now removes the risk of the data and information within a database from being used for illegal or fraudulent activities. The author points out that these new advances are related to new database management software, which can customize user accounts and access to the data as well as encrypt all of the data in a given database. The paper explains that data mining is one of the primary activities that is used to illustrate how important data security and management has become across most industries. The author suggest that failure related to security and encryption features is usually associated more with the planning, selection and deployment of the data management solution rather than intrinsic faults within the solution itself.

"Previously, most healthcare organizations were content to rely on internal IT platforms to automate some aspects of their internal functions without engaging the full spectrum of IT solutions such as data mining and data warehousing in a non-secure environment. Most often, these pre-existing IT solutions for healthcare management are independent software applications or separate modules of a healthcare enterprise resource planning (ERP) system that rely on existing databases of some type. While the application and use of these independent applications and ERP modules can certainly introduce cost-savings into the equation, they require an upfront investment in either IT applications, IT infrastructure or both, as well as on-going management of these new systems."

Bibliography
From the Paper
"There are many measures and security policies that can be implemented to prevent illegal access to private databases. Typically, every security policy is dependent on the other policies. It is important to note that security policies work best if all the policies embedded within have strong walls against unauthorized access. Otherwise, once one policy fails, there are tendencies that its vulnerability and failure to protect the network, database, or information, can affect the rest of the policies. Following are some of the common policies, as extracted from Oracle Server Administration Guide, that are applied by many organizations which utilize information technology methods for database and information safety and security."

Abstract
The paper explains the development, function, and purpose of database management systems. It explains the differences between the two major types of database management systems and evaluates some of their strengths and weaknesses. A comparison chart of database management systems is included at the end of the paper.
From the Paper
"Object-oriented database management system (ODBMS) vendors were hopeful that future applications would be implemented with pure object-oriented systems (Devarakonda, 2001). Initially, these systems looked promising, but they were unable to live up to the expectations. A new technology has evolved in which relational and object-oriented concepts have been combined or merged. These systems are called object-relational database management systems (ORDBMS). ORDBMSs best ODBMSs in most situations because they can provide massive scalability as well as object-oriented features. Today, ODBMS use is mostly confined to niche applications where the data being managed falls into hierarchical structures with numerous and somewhat unpredictable relationships between data objects."

Abstract
This paper describes a virtual website, similar to KaZaA in the file-swapping aspect, but instead of music, provides first-rate Hollywood-caliber movies, from which members have the opportunity to download specialized encryption software to their system. The author points out that website security for the Internet and internal networked environments has three basic objectives: confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The paper states that the website will require various software tools, such as encryption and database software, firewalls, routers and other hardware, but the keys to security are reputable vendors, who are reliable with support and well-trained, and knowledgeable network administrators and personnel.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Whatever the case, our website security aspirations will be very difficult to achieve. In the modern world, a high school kid with a failing average could easily gain unauthorized access to an insecure network or website environment. The real problem is that many people know exactly what they are doing because today's adolescents have grown up with technology and they understand it. Couple this with the fact that whole nations and industries have become computer crime intruders such as what has occurred in China. Network security engineers have to be on the lookout for many attacks."

From the Paper
"The main business requirement is to allow salespersons access to customer information. Salespersons need to be able to find the customer's phone number and address, but they will have only the authority to add to the Phone Number table, if the customer's number is not already in the table. They also need to be able to view and update the Customer History. Employees may add customers and phone numbers, but they may not delete them. They will not have update authority on sales territories. They also will have no authority to update the City or State tables, except to relate a Customer to City."

Abstract
This paper takes a thorough look at the practice of database outsourcing. The reasons for the rise in its popularity, its economic benefits, and its negative consequences on local workforces are all discussed. The paper concludes with a review of both the positive and negative aspects of outsourcing.
From the Paper
"The sale of database products has not been affected and database giants such as Oracle IBM and Microsoft continue to reap good profits. Compared to the same quarter last year the company's profit rose by 28% this year. "Oracle generated over $1.25bn in cash as our profitability continues to hit record levels." [Matt Hines] The recent outsourcing of developmental operations to India will contribute to huge cost savings in the coming years. However other database companies such as IBM and Microsoft are also gaining in their market share and catching up with Oracle. IBM and Oracle have also opened new services for their clients. For example IBM'S computing on demand program has become a huge success with more and more companies willing to get their software developmental work outsourced by IBM. The global network of developers, which the company enjoys, gives it the cost and time advantage. Similarly Oracle corporation is also providing its own outsourcing solutions to clients. Oracle's Ebusiness suite outsourcing is part of the outsourcing program. Oracle's proposed acquisition of "Peoplesoft" is also done with a view to improve the software development and outsourcing solutions to clients around the world."

Object-Oriented Database Management Systems (OODBMS), 2004.
This paper discusses the marketing problems of Object-Oriented Database Management Systems (OODBMS).

Abstract
This paper explains that Object-Oriented Database Management Systems (OODBMS), which emerged in the 1990s, quickly found their niche in handling complex data types; however, the long-term vision of OODBMSs to replace relational databases has never materialized. The author points out that OODBMS technology remains a small niche market, generating only around a few hundred million dollars in revenues, compared to the multi-billion dollar relational database market. The paper states that the goals of large relational database vendors, such as Oracle, IBM, and Microsoft, have been to synthesize the best of relational databases and OODBMs, such as the flexibility of the OODBMS data model and the performance of relational database functions, into an Object-Relational Database Management System.
From the Paper
"OODBMSs first started to be researched in the 1980s and the first commercial products gradually appeared in the early 1990s from vendors such as Object Design, Objectivity, Versant, Computer Associates and Ardent. By the late 1980s and early 1990s it was recognized that object oriented (OO) languages had some very strong advantages over non-OO languages for many programming applications. OODBMSs emerged to reduce the impedance mismatch between the programming languages and the DBMS, to offer performance advantages (due to navigation from roots and sophisticated caching and swizzling technologies), and to provide transparent support for complex user-defined types including the ability to store, call and query complex objects directly."

Abstract
In today's information-rich society, database management is an ever-expanding and increasingly important field. This paper discusses databases, database management systems (DBMSs), and their importance in today's society. Additional topics include the need for security, concurrency, and control within database management, as well as the role of the database administrator.
From the Paper
"A database can be defined as "a structure that can house information about multiple types of entities, the attributes of these entities, and the relationships among the entities" (St. Edward's University). Databases can contain a wide variety of information. For example, a university database may include information about students, courses and classrooms. Further, this university database may contain significant amounts of information about the relationships between these entities, such as student course enrollment, and the use of classrooms for courses (Ramakrishnan)."
