Database Security

[ Thanks to JJS

“I don’t disagree with Taufiq’s assessment. However, I
do disagree with his acceptance of the status quo. I wrote a rant
on this blog responding to a complaint that security professionals
are not taken seriously. In it, I pointed out that the security
industry should promote improving the security climate, not just
react to it with solutions ‘for a price’. The example I gave was
*DBC libraries.

“The JDBC package, java.sql, does not supply any security
parsing. This is not the real workhorse, but it should at least
provide a method for this. Each database supplies a jar that
java.sql classes call to access the specific database. This is
where security parsing must be handled.”
