  1. Databases and data security It’s your data – are you sure it’s safe? Team Mag 5 Valerie Buitron Jaime Calahorrano Derek Chow Julia Marsh Mark Zogbaum

  2. Database overview • Every company needs places to store institutional knowledge and data. • Frequently that data contains proprietary information • Personally Identifiable Data • Employee HR Data • Financial Data • The security and confidentiality of this data is of critical importance.

  3. Security Overview • There are four key issues in the security of databases just as with all security systems • Availability • Authenticity • Integrity • Confidentiality

  4. Availability • Data needs to be available at all necessary times • Data needs to be available to only the appropriate users • Need to be able to track who has access to and who has accessed what data

  5. Authenticity • Need to ensure that the data has been edited by an authorized source • Need to confirm that users accessing the system are who they say they are • Need to verify that all report requests are from authorized users • Need to verify that any outbound data is going to the expected receiver

  6. Integrity • Need to verify that any external data has the correct formatting and other metadata • Need to verify that all input data is accurate and verifiable • Need to ensure that data is following the correct work flow rules for your institution/corporation • Need to be able to report on all data changes and who authored them to ensure compliance with corporate rules and privacy laws.

  7. Confidentiality • Need to ensure that confidential data is only available to correct people • Need to ensure that entire database is security from external and internal system breaches • Need to provide for reporting on who has accessed what data and what they have done with it • Mission critical and Legal sensitive data must be highly security at the potential risk of lost business and litigation

  8. Keeping your Data confidential • Although the 4 pillars are of equal importance we are focusing on Confidentiality due to the prevalence of data loss in financial and personal areas • We are going to review solutions for • Internal data loss • External hacking • Securing data if hardware stolen • Unapproved Administrator Access

  9. Middleware Security Concerns • Another set of security issues come from middleware that sits between the user and the data • Single sign on authentication • Allows users to just have one password to access all systems but also means that the theft of one password endangers all systems

  10. 3rd party Security Options • Most companies have several types of databases so to ensure total security across databases they hire 3rd party Database Security Vendors such as Guardium,Inc. and Imperva, Inc. • Those companies have solutions for Database Activity Monitoring (DAM) • Prices range from $20K to $1 Million • Another option is data masking – buying a fake data set for development and testing.

  11. Pros and Cons of 3rd Party solutions

  12. Built in Database Protection • Vendors such as Oracle, Microsoft and IBM know that security is a big concern for data systems. • They create built in solutions such as: • Password Controls • Data access based on roles and profiles • IP restrictions for off site access • Auditing capabilities of who has run what reports • Security logging

  13. Pros and Cons of Built In solutions

  14. Recommendations? • Will we be able to keep the data secure while keeping the users happy? • Tune in Week 10 to find out! • Same Bat Time • Same Bat Channel
