Week 5 Progress - Starting the Journey

Assalamualaikum..
I have discussed with my supervisor Dr.Ariza last week.. Already got a more appropriate term for my working title.. and currently my working title is "Corrective Action for Unauthorized Committed Database Transaction" but it is still a temporary title since there are still a lot of things to read..

Got a journal on the database security and it tells a lot of what students need to know about it. It covers six areas which are:

1. Access control
2. Row level security
3. Application security as portrayed in a security matrix
4. SQL injections
5. Database inference
6. Database auditing

The interactive software modules developed to support the study of database security concepts is freely available at Animated Database Courseware. Please visit it :)

Title: Database Security: What Students Need to Know
By: Meg Coffin Murray, Kennesaw State University, Kennesaw, GA, USA

Also got a new knowledge on the type of user threat for the database.

• Authorized user
• Legitimate user
• Illegitimate user
• Unauthorized user
• Not granted user
• Phantom
• Hacker
• Intruder

That is all for this post. That is actually only a basic concept of the database security issues. I will find more on the corrective action plan. Thank you..
