Strengthening Database Security: RBAC, Encryption, Backup, and 2FA Solutions

Abstract

Securing databases in modern IT environments is critical to ensuring the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of sensitive organizational data. This paper explores a multi-layered approach to database protection using Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), encryption, comprehensive backup strategies, disaster recovery planning, and Two-Factor Authentication (2FA). Each of these components addresses specific aspects of database security and collectively forms a robust framework to safeguard against unauthorized access, data breaches, and system failures. Practical recommendations for implementing these strategies in on-premises and production environments are provided, alongside discussions on emerging challenges and future trends in database security.
