Designed for easy learning, this text is broken into three sections: Security, Auditing and Implementation. Students will fully understand how to implement database security on modern business databases using practical scenarios and step-by-step examples throughout the text. Each chapter ends with exercises and a hands-on project to reinforce and showcase the topics learned. The final chapter of the book allows the students to apply their knowledge in a presentation of four real-world cases using security and auditing.
