SECURITY MODULE

The Application-Level Security System developed at Cybersoft is aimed at addressing concerns for system security. Cybersoft's Security Module is capable of performing Security Management activities on any database-centered application on a Microsoft SQL Server platform. Developed in compliance with the Component Object Model (COM) specifications, the system can function as a Security Layer for any application.

Many applications either leave the bulk of security management to be done on the MS SQL Server itself or use their own customized and tailored application-specific Security Management Modules. The philosophy in this module is different in that a hierarchy of security levels can be defined for any application, thereby enhancing the effectiveness of the application. The Security Module can be used to carry out the tasks of User / Group administration and Security Management.

FEATURES

Some of the features of Cybersoft's Security Module are summarized as follows :

• Because it is highly self-contained or modularized, the Security Module enables applications to developed independently. When applications require the service of this module, they can simply plug it in and use its functionalities through its APIs.
  
  
• Can be applied to any application although originally developed to work on the MS SQL-Server platform.
  
  
• Facilitates the administration of Users and Groups for an application.
  
  
• Security permission is granted at a hierarchical level.
  
  
• Boasts an easy-to-use interface for defining activities of subsystems or secured objects.
  
  
• Robust audit policy settings: Activities can be audited for write, update, and delete operations.
  
  
• Audit Events Viewing: The system keeps accurate record of audit events so that the operations effected can be kept track of.
  
  
• Can be easily adapted to the Security Policy of an Organization.
