Ultrafast, scalable, embeddable SQL database with commercial-grade data security, disaster recovery and change synchronisation
Security
Cyber attacks against databases and loss of data can be costly and lead to loss of customers’ trust (and business), regulatory action, and even large fines. InterBase provides over-the-wire and at-rest encryption, separate security login, and role-based user security. InterBase encryption adds very little overhead to database speed and performance while still maintaining full on-disk encryption.
- Cross-Platform Encryption. InterBase supports encryption over the wire between server and clients, and data at rest (both DES and AES 256-bit encryption). InterBase encryption is built in as part of its cross-platform single file format.
- Separate Security login. Data visibility is defined by a specialist login to the database (SYSDSO) with column-level granularity that ensures even developers cannot bypass encryption to view and search for sensitive data.
- Reduced Risk. Built-in granular column-level encryption drastically reduces the risk of data breaches through requirement changes and product refactoring as your data layer (and not your application) is managing data visibility.
- Role-Based User Security. Define user security roles that align with job roles (Accountant, Accounts Manager, Sales, HR, etc.) to easily add or remove access to both data and data-changes tracking across your system.
- Encrypted Backups. InterBase also supports a backup-specific encryption key that allows an encrypted backup to be created and answers the needs of those requiring command-line backups to be run via scheduling.
