Abstract

Methods for increasing the security of database servers when working in a corporate network are analyzed and the
database is used as the basis of an enterprise security system. The widespread use of databases and a significant amount of
information accumulated in them from various subject areas, standardized tools for their management systems, leads to the need
to set the task of protecting both databases themselves and their management systems. The work focuses on modeling the
protection system specifically for relational databases, considering the protection of other components of the information system
as necessary. The concept is introduced and the justification for the need to use a secure database is given. Methods and
algorithms for protecting relational database information are developed using the proposed mathematical model of a secure
database. Suggestions are made regarding the use of the developed mathematical models and the configuration of the
information protection system. The presented methods allow building secure information systems based on database servers
and integrating the information protection systems of these servers with the information protection systems of other corporate
services to ensure comprehensive protection of enterprise data. The implementation of a secure database blocks the main threats
to the confidentiality and integrity of information in a relational database, providing an audit of the required detail. Methods and
algorithms have also been developed to implement an improved model of forced access control for relational database users,
and to conduct an audit of secure database users. These mechanisms ensure rapid adaptation of the database information
protection system to changes in security policy and a reduction in computing resources. The mechanisms for protecting database
servers when working in a corporate network have been studied and the use of a secure database as the core of an enterprise
security system has been proposed.
Keywords: secure database, unauthorized access, information system, security policy, information protection system,
database management system.
