DATABASE ENVIRONMENT:

Database security is the protection of the database against intentional and unintentional threats. Database security is the business of the entire organization as all people use the data held in the organization's database and any loss corruption to the data would affect the day-to-day operation of the organization and the performance of the people. Therefore, database security encompasses hardware, software, infrastructure, people and data of the organization. Now there is greater emphasis on database security than in the past as the amount of data stored in corporate database is increasing and people are depending more on the corporate data for decision-making, customer service management, supply chain management and so on. Any loss or unavailability to the corporate data will cripple today's organization and will seriously affect its performance. Now the unavailability of the database for even a few minutes could result in serious losses to the organization
