Data warehouse and business intelligence security

Business intelligence and business performance management are the basic source of information in a company.

The data warehouse is the most important part of a company’s IT infrastructure. Because the most value is stored there, it is also the most likely target of an attack.

Applying the segregation of duties principle in business data warehouses is an essential requirement. Putting it into practice takes a thorough knowledge of information security principles, and also a proper understanding of the business processes and the structure of the organisation.
