数据库安全-------文献翻译.doc

“为什么要确保数据库服务安全呢？任何人都不能访问-这是一个非军事区的保护防火墙”，当我们被建议使用一个带有安全检查机制的装置时，这是通常的反应。事实上，在防护一个组织的信息方面，数据库的安全是至高无上的，因为它可能会间接接触比我们意识到的更广泛的用户。
这是两篇研究数据库安全文章中的第一篇。在这篇文章中我们将讨论一般数据库安全概念和和比较普遍的问题。在下篇文章，我们将把焦点放在特定的Microsoft SQL和Oracle的安全关注上。
近来数据库安全已成为一个热门话题。随着越来越多的人关注计算机安全，我们发现，防火墙和网络服务器比以前都更加安全化了（虽然这并不等于说现在不再有许多不安全的网络存在）。因此，重点是加大对技术的考虑力度，譬如以更细腻的审查态度对待数据库。
“Why do I need to secure my database server? No one can access it — it’s in a DMZ protected by the firewall!” This is often the response when it is recommended that such devices are included within a security health check. In fact, database security is paramount in defending an organizations information, as it may be indirectly exposed to a wider audience than realized.
This is the first of two articles that will examine database security. In this article we will discuss general database security concepts and common problems. In the next article we will focus on specific Microsoft SQL and Oracle security concerns.
Database security has become a hot topic in recent times. With more and more people becoming increasingly concerned with computer security, we are finding that firewalls and Web servers are being secured more than ever(though this does not mean that there are not still a large number of insecure networks out there). As such, the focus is expanding to
