Synopsis

Any organization, whether commercial, governmental or academic, which uses databases in material areas of its activities is vulnerable to their defective operation. Databases are required to be secure, well controlled and auditable in order to meet the business objectives of the application systems which use them as the data storage medium. This publication from the three BCS Specialist Groups for audit, security and database design was written to assist all individuals involved in achieving the above requirements. It treats all these three aspects from the viewpoint of practical experience, right from the initial choice of software. This continues through integration with other software, to control measures and audit procedures. The book also covers types of and integrity of databases, data dictionaries, and CASE tools. The volume provides a structured understanding of a complex topic; a reference manual to those designing applications using databases; and a guide to audit needs in a database envrironment. The readership includes database designers, security staff, auditors (internal and external), consultants and applications designers.
