Summary: How can we secure our databases?
Comment: The preface clearly states that this book is a guide on implementing security and auditing for database environments Lays out who should read the book, basically administrators, auditors, security professionals, or any one involved with operational ownership of databases.
After reading the book I actually felt that there are so many vulnerabilities that effect every part of an IT shop that this book is a must read for developers, architects, and management as well. Often it is the way systems are architected and coded that bring out the vulnerabilities and allow would-be hackers in.
Ron really has hit a great balance between readability and information.
The book isnt just a text or reference book but also entertained me.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Excellent and timely read
Comment: As more business services extend access to information within databases via web-based technologies, so increases their risk of error, vulnerability and noncompliance. For the database administrator and/or security administrator this is a must have reference book.
The book will address issues that are relevant "today" and packed full of clear and concise methods and techniques that will be helpful in securing, monitoring, and auditing database environments. I was glad to see the author addresses the complexity of regulatory compliance and its implication on database planning, management and IT auditing.
Great read, great timing!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Covers many topics in a very practical way
Comment: The book is broad both in the databases it covers as well as the issues it talks about, but has enough examples to show what to do and how to do it. I'm only up to chapter 6 but it is already worth the investment.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Very useful. Eye-opening.
Comment: Excellent book. Very useful. Good for understanding what to do and even better for understanding interactions with the database - both for implementing database audit trails as well as for enhancing database security.
