Informix Security RedBook
Submitted by Spokey on Thu, 2008-07-24 10:45. Under: informix | redbooks | securityIBM has recently released a new RedBook, called "Security and Compliance Solutions for IBM Informix Dynamic Server"
It looks to be a comprehensive review, covering:
- Role separation;
Auditing;
SQL security;
Communication; and
Backup security
It looks well worth a read.
Security is a big issue and I don't find most people take it seriously enough. Have a look at an optimally secure system design, then look at where your environment diverges from that. Break the deficiencies into bite-sized chunks that you can address as and when you have time.
