Secure Systems Database Security

OS 2200 database software combines agility and efficiency with the robust security you’d expect from a mainframe-class database.

 

Universal Data System (UDS)

UDS provides the necessary infrastructure. Three OS 2200 database software solutions build on the UDS kernel, providing safeguards when you’re using these relational, network and indexed sequential data models:

  • Enterprise Relational Database Server (RDMS)
  • Enterprise Network Database Server
  • Shared File System database software solutions

Access Authorization

All of these types of database files are protected by OS 2200 file security, preventing any unauthorized access and ensuring consistent authentication, authorization and auditing. This capability is based on the OS 2200 user-id that’s verified by the OS 2200 security kernel. And OS 2200 file and subsystem security protects your UDS software from any unauthorized modification or destruction.

 

More Data Protection

OS 2200 database management software gives you the ability to restrict access to tables, columns, rows, aggregates and even procedures, in conformance with SQL standards. And it helps you maintain the privacy of your sensitive information by supporting data encryption.

 

Auditing Data Access

Data privacy laws and other governmental regulations emphasize how important it is for you to audit data accesses. Database event analysis tools let you capture and analyze information about who read what database records or updated which database fields – and much more. This capability can help you comply with regulations, provide more efficient services, assess the effectiveness of your security and gain insight into the use of your business data.

 

Database Recovery

Ensuring database integrity includes protection against the consequences of database corruption. Your UDS databases use several levels of recovery to provide the industry’s most robust, automated, data recovery facilities
