protecting a database from unauthorized access, misuse, or threats that can compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and availability (CIA) of the data

Database privacy ensures that sensitive information is not exposed to unauthorized users or misused, and that individuals’ personal data is handled in complianc

Use strong authentication mechanisms

Students learn the highly technical aspects of how Security is structured and designed to build effective, efficient, and reliable applications
