The heart of secure systems lies in protecting data and most of the users usually rely on database managementsystems or DBMS for managing this protection. The security of databases is more of a recent development as compared tothe programming and operating systems. Databases play an important role in many business, government and privateorganizations. They are used for making the retrieval and maintenance of data quite easy and become efficient when the datais stored in databases. The basic requirements for any database systems aren’t like other computing systems. The majorsystems faced for databases include access control, authentication process of users and their benefits. Several securitymechanisms are being used for storing and securing the large volumes of data. The reason why databases are attacked sooften is due to the fact that the databases contain large volume of data stored in them. This paper discusses the varioussecurity mechanisms used. Further this paper also discusses about some of the major threats and challenges in databasesecurity.
