Database and Information Management

Database software simplifies the methods of storing, editing, sorting, manipulating, and retrieving information that is generally viewed as a formatted list. For example, we look at a database as a feature that is used to keep information on the names, addresses, and credit ratings of customers, or the names, job titles, social security numbers, and years of service of employees.

Databases create a mass of information that is easily searched and accessed. They also create a potential liability as employee and customer information can be stolen and misused. As a modern business, how can you safeguard and reassure both your employees and customers that their information is safe?
