Abstract
This paper explores the critical aspects of database security and integrity, addressing major threats and presenting strategies to mitigate these risks. Emphasizing the importance of secure and reliable data management, the paper reviews historical perspectives, current trends, key challenges, and future directions in the field. The research underscores the necessity of robust security measures and integrity controls to maintain the trustworthiness and reliability of databases, which are pivotal in supporting various organizational operations. Key concepts such as access control, encryption, and auditing are discussed, along with integrity measures like constraints and ACID properties. The paper also examines successful case studies and emerging technologies that could revolutionize database security. Through this comprehensive review, the paper aims to provide valuable insights and recommendations for enhancing database security and integrity in contemporary digital environments. The need for ongoing research and development is emphasized to address evolving threats and leverage advancements in technology, ensuring that databases remain secure, reliable, and efficient. By highlighting both theoretical and practical aspects, the paper serves as a crucial resource for professionals and researchers seeking to fortify database systems against potential vulnerabilities.
Keywords: Database security, data integrity, access control, encryption, auditing, ACID properties, blockchain, cybersecurity
