Mitigation of Database Security Threats in Transaction Processing System

Abstract

The main function of the transaction processing system (TPS) in the business world is to handle data transactions. Hence, it is crucial to secure the database, we discuss the problem of database threats in a transaction processing system in this article. A transaction process system (TPS) refers to an information processing system for business transactions that collects, modifies, and retrieves all transaction data. Database security denotes the safeguarding of database management systems using a variety of strategies against malicious cyberattacks, unlicensed access, and illegitimate use. The elements that need to be protected by database security systems include the data that has to be stored, the database where it is stored, and the database management system used to administer the data. It involves safeguarding the system from harm, infiltration, and exploitation. Additionally, it safeguards any database-related applications. The aim of this study is to explore possible database security threats in a TPS, along with some security challenges, and mitigation techniques to these threats.
