  2. Database security - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database_security

    One technique for evaluating database security involves performing vulnerability assessments or penetration tests against the database. Testers attempt to find security vulnerabilities that could be used to defeat or bypass security controls, break into the database, compromise the system etc. Database administrators or information security administrators may for example use automated ...

  3. Database activity monitoring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database_activity_monitoring

    Database Security Proxy is a non-intrusive method for DAM. The interception itself can be done also at multiple points such as the database memory (e.g. the SGA), at the network (using a network TAP or a SPAN port if the communication is not encrypted), at the operating system level, or at the level of the database libraries. [3]

  4. Centralized database - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centralized_database

    Previously, computer systems were tape based, meaning records could only be accessed sequentially. [3] Organizations quickly adopted databases for storage and retrieval of data. The traditional approach for storing data was to use a centralized database, and users would query the data from various points over a network.

  5. Database - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database

    Formally, a "database" refers to a set of related data accessed through the use of a "database management system" (DBMS), which is an integrated set of computer software that allows users to interact with one or more databases and provides access to all of the data contained in the database (although restrictions may exist that limit access to particular data).

  6. Database administration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database_administration

    Database administration is the function of managing and maintaining database management systems (DBMS) software. Mainstream DBMS software such as Oracle, IBM Db2 and Microsoft SQL Server need ongoing management. As such, corporations that use DBMS software often hire specialized information technology personnel called database administrators or ...

  7. Database encryption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database_encryption

    As an example, a text file stored on a computer is "at rest" until it is opened and edited. Data at rest are stored on physical storage media solutions such as tapes or hard disk drives. [ 6 ] The act of storing large amounts of sensitive data on physical storage media naturally raises concerns of security and theft.

  8. Federated database system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federated_database_system

    A federated database system (FDBS) is a type of meta-database management system (DBMS), which transparently maps multiple autonomous database systems into a single federated database. The constituent databases are interconnected via a computer network and may be geographically decentralized. Since the constituent database systems remain ...

  9. Data integrity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_integrity

    An example of a data-integrity mechanism is the parent-and-child relationship of related records. If a parent record owns one or more related child records all of the referential integrity processes are handled by the database itself, which automatically ensures the accuracy and integrity of the data so that no child record can exist without a parent (also called being orphaned) and that no ...
