Security in Data Warehouses
Edgar R. Weippl · IGI Global eBooks · 2010
The last several years have been characterized by global companies building up massive databases containing computer users’ search queries and sites visited; government agencies accruing sensitive data and extrapolating knowledge from uncertain data with little incentive to provide citizens ways of correcting false data; and individuals who can easily combine publicly available data to derive information that – in former times – was not so readily accessible. Security in data warehouses becomes more important as reliable and appropriate security mechanisms are required to achieve the desired level of privacy protection.
