Software-Based SecuritySolutions encrypt the data to protect it from theft. However, a malicious program or a hacker could corrupt the data in order to make it unrecoverable, making the system unusable.
Hardware-Based SecuritySolutions can prevent read and write access to data and hence offer very strong protection against tampering and unauthorized access.
Data Access Controls and Policies Solutions :Data Access Controls is the selective restriction of access to data. Accessing may mean viewing, editing, or using. Defining proper access controls require to map out the information, where it resides, how important it is, who it is important to, how sensitive it is and then designing appropriate controls. Controls need to be able to match the most granular level of access a subject (the user) should have to a data element. Applied to relational databases, data access controls that support a data-centric security model should be able to define and control access at the table, field/column, cell and partial cell levels. In the case of complex enterprise data environments, the organization might need to enforce standards and manage centrally the use of data protection techniques and security policies.
