What are the data security threats and what controls can be put in place to curb the threats?

Historically, information security solutions have focused on preventing external threats such as viruses, hackers and worms through perimeter solutions that include firewalls and antivirus software. While still aware of outside threats, companies are now coming to understand they can no longer ignore inside violations concerning data at rest. So information security and privacy is of atmost importance whether it is internal or external.

Today's employees are able to easily export sensitive files and information via email or by copying to file shares and portable media without concerning about data security and data privacy. Many companies simply do not have the resources or appropriate policies in place to identify NPI and PII and avoid inadvertent, accidental mis-steps or malicious actions from within. As companies continue to accumulate NPI and PII, they are under enormous pressure to mitigate risk and to provide data security to sensitive information before an undesirable loss occurs. Whether you call it data security, Content Loss Prevention or simply Information Security solutions & Privacy, the time has come to take steps to protect your company's data privacy.

Deployed in under 30 minutes, the Kazeon's Information Server i.e. information security solutions system discovers sensitive information contained in emails and files regardless of physical or logical location.

Give me the answer Difference between unary and binary operator?

A unary operator is one which operates on just one number, e.g. x2 or -x.

A binary operator is one which takes two numbers, e.g. x + y or xy.

Note that this has nothing to do with binary vs. decimal arithmetic.

This term is commonly used to distinguish between the two buttons which have a '-' sign on a calculator. The unary '-' operator button is used to change the sign of a number entered, and the binary '-' operator button is used to subtract two numbers, which is quite a different thing. The unary '-' button is commonly labelled '+/-'.

Why is it called a language when UML is a bunch of diagrams?

... for the same reason sign language is not a just bunch of pictures or gestures.

Sign language uses a system of manual, facial, and other body movements as the means of communication.

UML uses visual elements - icons, lines, arrows, etc - as the means of communication.

What is Multi-access?

Multi-access OR Time charing are mostly the same BUT...... # MULTI-ACCESS give the user the impression that she is the only one using the computer. # since the word multi define " many different" ,thus it means that many different data or platform can be acccessed by the user at the same duration time. # Accessing of data or other application through manyt users at the same time, Time sharing is when many users can have access to the same data apparently at the same time.

Customer and supplier intimacy in information system?

One of the trends in information systems in recent years is the increasing strength of customer/supplier intimacy. Organisations have been using information systems to increase loyalty and develop stronger relationships with customers. Having a strategy on customer/supplier intimacy makes customers and suppliers important stakeholders within the organisation and they will feel more valued.

With the increased use of the Internet, developing a strong relationship with both customers and suppliers is crucial for survival in such a competitive market where consumers have access to any information.

In relation to suppliers, information systems have enabled suppliers to have access to production schedules of the firm and so, they have more notice of when to have materials ready. On the customer side, information systems allow firms to keep track of preferences so they can make future recommendations to customers or they will not need to ask the same questions every time the customer uses their good/service. An example of this is in hotels when an information system can store information about preferred check-in times, tv programmes etc.

What are some disadvantages of managing data with relational database software such as Access versus Excel?

Access is more complicated. Unless you know what you are doing, it can be difficult to use Access at times. It can seem easier to set things up in Excel. However, though Access is more complicated, when it comes to doing things with databases it is more powerful. If you have a limited understanding of Access and a limited understanding of relational databases, then Excel may seem better. However, in the long run it is not the best way to do things. Using Access has other disadvantages, such as the likelihood of making mistakes if you don't know how to use it properly. You may not even realise that there are better ways of doing it. It takes more time and understanding and planning to get the best out of a relational database. There are also many powerful elements that you may not be aware of, or do not know how to use properly. Using Excel will be likely to have you fall into the traps that make relational databases the right solution. Sometimes though, it is easier to use Excel and get a simple database and work things that way. It is not ideal, but from some people's perspectives it does seem better.

Why are certain functional dependencies called trivial functional dependencies?

A functional Dependency_theory_(database_theory)(FD) is a constraint between two sets of attributes in a Relational_modelfrom a Database

Given a relation R, a set of Attribute_(computing) X in R is said to functionally determineanother attribute Y, also in R, (written XY) if and only if each X value is associated with precisely one Y value. Customarily we call X the determinant set and Y the dependent attribute. Thus, given a Tupleand the values of the attributes in X, one can determine the corresponding value of the Y attribute. For the purposes of simplicity, given that X and Y are sets of attributes in R, XY denotes that X functionally determines each of the members of Y - in this case Yis known as the dependent set. Thus, a Candidate_keyis a minimal set of attributes that functionally determine all of the attributes in a relation.(Note: the "function" being discussed in "functional dependency" is the function of Identification_(information).)

A functional dependency FD: X → Y is called trivial if Y is a Subsetof X.

What are factors for choosing data type in access table?

It depends on what you are using the data for. For things like names and addresses, they will naturally be text data. Code numbers and phone numbers should actually be text and not number as many people would think. There are a few reasons. One is that you never do calculations on phone numbers, like add them, multiply them, subtract them etc. Another is that often you will want spaces or other characters in them that a number type will not allow. The most important reason is that many phone numbers, when you include area codes, will begin with a zero. If you start anything with a zero in a number field, the zero will automatically be ignored. It is necessary in a phone number though, so a number field is no use. Code numbers often begin with zero too or have letters in them, so they should always be text.

There are various number formats, like currency and Autonumber, so it is important to choose the correct type for what you are doing. Hyperlink would obviously be the data type for a web address, although you could use text. E-mail addresses could also be in text. It depends on whether you want to be able to link to them.

The need for validation on some data would be another factor in choosing what data type you are going to use. You also may want to put input masks on them to reduce down the errors people can make when entering data. You can also set your data to be accessed through lookup values from a list or another table or query. If you have a very specific set of values, like the names of a department in a company, it is a good idea to use them. It reduces the possibilities for spelling mistakes by those entering in the data.

Compatibility with data in other tables or applications is important too. If you are setting up a relational database you need to be sure that fields in relationships are of the same types. If you are importing or exporting data to other formats, you'll need to be sure that they data types correspond or you may end up losing some of your data in the process. If you are updating an older system, you need to check what data types were used in it so that when you move the data to your new tables, that you don't lose anything. If you have decided that you do need to change a data type in an old system, but want to retain the data as it looked, like putting a numeric format to text if it is a code number, you need to be careful too. Making a few copies of the tables so that you can test them is a good idea. Then you won't lose anything if something doesn't work as planned.

These are just a few of the considerations to be taken into account. As stated at the beginning, it really depends on what you want to do with the data and how you are going to manipulate it. So a bit of planning before you start is what you should do first. Choosing the wrong data type can cause problems, and sometimes they won't be noticed initially. A common one is people putting dates into a text field. It looks fine until you try to sort or do some searches, or try to manipulate dates with the functions that are available. When you have finished your design, check everything carefully and run a few quick tests to see that things work. With experience you will learn what are the best types of data for your requirements.

What does a signed data type mean?

signed: its value can be less than zero

unsigned: its value cannot be less than zero

example:

16 bit signed: -32768 .. 32767

16 bit unsigned: 0 .. 65535

Examples of relational database and non relational database in real world?

A relational database is a database that groups data using common attributes found in the data set. The resulting "clumps" of organized data are much easier for people to understand. For example, a data set containing all the real estate transactions in a town can be grouped by the year the transaction occurred; or it can be grouped by the sale price of the transaction; or it can be grouped by the buyer's last name; and so on.

How can you arrange text into multiple columns?

That depends on the nature of the text and what way you want it to be in columns. If it is just a large block of text that you want into newspaper-styled columns, then word processors and desktop publishers have the facility to do that. If you want text that is data, like names and addresses etc. and you want to break the data up so that all the names are in a column and the addresses are in columns, then you do something different. You separate the components on a line with commas and put each new set of data on a new line. Then it can be imported into a database or spreadsheet and the data will be split into columns based where the commas are.

How do you find out the schema name of a table in SQL?
