DB2 Data Security Beyond Regulatory Compliance

Abstract

There are no guarantees that any one security approach will be able to deal with new and innovative intrusions in increasingly complex technical and business environments. By implementing a combination of solutions presented in this article we should be in a better position to face growing database security challenges, to proactively meet regulatory and compliance requirements and to better control our sensitive data. The sooner the encryption of sensitive data occurs, the more secure the environment. This approach will protect our most sensitive data at rest, and also while it's moving between the applications and the database and between different applications and data stores.
