WEEK 6 (IT SECURITY)

LECTURE 6

In this lecture I learn about Database Security. Database security is the system, processes, and procedures that protect a database from unintended activity. Unintended activity can be categorized as authenticated misuse, malicious attacks or inadvertent mistakes made by authorized individuals or processes. Database security is also a specialty within the broader discipline of computer security. Database security become important because information is critical resource in enterprise, securing become billion dollar industry, and people want to protect their confidential information.
