Multi-factored database security model. What is it?
According to recent Forrester study, 80 percent of data security breaches involve insiders, employees or those with internal access to an organization, putting information at risk. The big challenge for companies today  is to strike the right balance between providing workers with appropriate access and protecting sensitive information as much as possible.

Traditionally, database users are assigned a database administrator (DBA) role or granted multiple system privileges. Meaning, once a user has gained access to the database s/he can manipulate (read, write, delete, export and print out) records without any further restrictions. From information security point of view and research studies, this is very, very risky. And you must be aware that this is the approach most of our competitors use!

To help ensure the safety, integrity and privacy of corporate information, Multi-User versions of our software use comprehensive, multi-factored database security approach. This approach is built on the defence-in-depth principle, which introduces multiple mechanisms to augment the traditional user and role security model. Simply put,  restrictions and boundaries are set up so that even employees with database access privileges MAY NOT freely use, alter, export or print out sensitive information from the database.

How it works

1. Roles and Privileges boundaries. Administrator may assign different combinations of privileges to different users on different remote computers/workstations for manipulating records stored in the database after gaining access. For example: 2. Records isolation. Administrator may specify rules such that users will have access to and can manipulate only the records they have added to the database. For example, a user's tasks and schedules or his private correspondence.

Multi-factored database security model is powered by our unique, specially built Josytal Database Applications SharePoint
that serves as a single database point of entry (server) and will handle as many as 1000 workstations/computers accessing the database through the local network. After gaining access to the database, Josytal Database Applications SharePoint will monitor and enforce user's roles and privileges granted to him/her by the administrator.
