From the Back Cover

The competitive edge of many companies and public trust in government institutions can often depend on the security of the information now held in databases. Breaches of that security--whether deliberate or accidental--can be profoundly damaging. Security is therefore a highly topical issue for both designers and users of database systems.

This book provides an authoritative account of security issues in database systems, and shows how current commercial or future systems may be designed to ensure both integrity and confidentiality.

Features
  • Comprehensive, in-depth coverage of database security, including models, systems, architectures and standards
  • Emphasis on the design of secure database systems
  • Coverage of available security mechanisms and protection measures provided by operating systems, DBMS and data-security packages
  • Up-to-date trends in database security, including issues of security in object-oriented databases, in statistical databases and auditing

This book is suitable for advanced courses on database security, and will be an invaluable reference not only for database administrators and designers, systems analysts and developers, but also IT managers responsible for the security of information systems.
