Structuring and organizing database security domain from big data perspective using meta-modeling approach

Abstract

Database security is an area focused on safeguarding databases against harmful access. It involves ensuring data accuracy, blocking unauthorized entry, and preventing harmful code within the database. Although various security models and methods exist, they often don't comprehensively cover all aspects of database security. This leads to a diverse and unclear understanding of database security among experts. This study proposes a unified framework, the Database Security Meta-model (DBSM), which acts as a standard language in this field. The DBSM, comprising twelve main elements, is thoroughly vetted to align with security needs and offers guidelines for practitioners to create specific security solutions.
