Database Security

Availability - Meeting the Five Nines Target


Most database maintenance operations have some impact on the database availability. Backing up and recovering data, checking data for integrity violation, capturing database statistics, and loading new data into the database are all routine maintenance operations with possible adverse impacts on the database availability. To maintain the required availability, ITFS Group will assist you in planning and implementing:

  • Designing hardware, network and software architecture
  • Installing and maintaining Databases
  • Clustering, Mirroring, RAC, Failover, physical and logical standby
  • Replication and DRP systems
  • Adding more automation into the DBA procedures
  • Creating backup strategy to provide optimum availability
  • Employing Reporting tools and warehouse solutions
  • Performance tuning and optimization of system based Databases

Integrity - ensuring the accuracy, validity and consistency of data loaded into the database


One of the driving forces that have accelerated the development of database technology is the need to guarantee the quality of stored data. High data quality means that all database properties are adequately represented and preserved. Efficiently maintaining data integrity has gained critical nature due to the high cost embodied in the task of testing the validity of a large number of constraints required to be performed in large databases following each and every transaction. The ITFS Group will assist you in:

  • Designing ERDs
  • Designing and developing Architecture of Database and System Infrastructure
  • Integrating Infrastructure and Hardware
  • Performance Tuning

Confidentiality - balancing among confidentiality, integrity and availability


The emphasis in database privacy has to fall on a balance among confidentiality, integrity and availability of personal data, rather than on confidentiality alone. This balance does not necessarily have to be a trade-off, but should take into account the sensitive nature of the data being stored and attempt to increase all three dimensions to the highest possible level. The ITFS Group will assist you in:

  • Robusting your database
  • Implementing a SQL Firewall
  • Applying Monitoring and auditing solutions
  • Encryption
  • Employing Virtualization
  • Applying Single sign on (authentication) techniques
  • Implementing Oracle Database Security
  • Using SQL Server Security Solutions
