Why Is Security Necessary?

With the increasing use of distributed systems and the Internet for managing business data, demands on security are also on the rise. When using a distributed system, you need to be sure that your data and processes support your business needs without allowing unauthorized access to critical information. User errors, negligence, or attempted manipulation on your system should not result in loss of information or processing time. These security requirements naturally also apply to SAP MaxDB. We offer this Security Guide to assist you in securing SAP MaxDB.
