How do you protect privacy at the level of individual records in applications, databases, and file systems? As data resources become networked in more complex three tier e-business applications, their vulnerability to external attack grows. Although access control has been deployed as a security mechanism almost since the birth of server systems, many still look at data security as a problem to be addressed as the need arises – this is often after threats to the secrecy and integrity of data have occurred.
