COD 141 – Fundamentals of Database Security

Course Overview

In practice, the database represents the goal of many attackers, as this is where the information of value is maintained. However, the functional requirements and security testing often focus on the interaction between a software user and the application, while the handling of data is assumed to be secure.

This course describes how to apply authentication and access control to your database and provides an understanding of database privileges and limiting data access. Coverage also includes techniques for protecting the database and methods for securely concealing specific data while providing an introduction to cloud databases and database encryption.
