Help on important DAta security choice ?

[serge calderara]

Dear all,

I need to make a strategic decision on an application where data security is
important. Collected data must be stored in a database and I need to creat an
application uins vb.NET to collect those data and store them in that database.

The problem is that data in that database is the know how of my company so
they need to be protected from not beeing copied, duplicated, exported..

First I was thinking to store the data in an access database located on a
file server with NTFS permision. But then anyone can copie the file to
another place even with a readonly attribute right ?

Then I was thinkink of an SQL database, where it is a little bit harder to
copy database localy ans you have to pass the server security and the
database s ecurity.

What is the proper choice ?

thnaks for your help
Regards
Serge

Serge,

Certainly not the ms Access database, however did you ask your question in
this newsgroup

microsoft.public.dotnet.security

That one looks more proper for your question (not that you are not welcome
here)

I hope this helps?
