Database Security

Definition

Database security involves measures protecting information stored in digital repositories from unauthorized access, corruption, or theft. It encompasses a range of controls including access management, encryption, auditing, and vulnerability assessments to preserve data integrity and confidentiality. For systems supporting digital assets, robust database security is paramount to prevent illicit transfers, safeguard user credentials, and maintain the immutable record of transactions. These protections are essential for operational continuity and public trust in financial technology platforms.
