Secure Database Systems

This module provides you with the ability to design and develop secure database systems using relational and advanced database technology. You will explore the fundamental topics of databases including data models, database selection, database design, security, integrity, transaction management, database performance, and client-server and web-based database architectures. You will also examine advanced database topics such as database security, big data systems, data warehousing, NoSQL, and NewSQL systems. The module focuses on how traditional and web-based database and information systems can be developed with cybersecurity as a fundamental design and development issue. You will learn how to develop secure database systems through developing SQL code and through database programming by, for example, creating stored procedures, cursors and triggers using a DBMS such as Oracle or Postgres.
