Waterloo bank has recently suffered the loss of many of its valued customers due to high incidence of security breaches on its Internet banking platform and other applications. In response to this, the bank’s CTO decided to purchase a two-factor factor authentica nticati tion

em to protect new and existing applications. As the database administrator, your job is to work with the rest of the team to ensure a successful deployment.

Internal control/audit Technical support Project manager Software engineers (you are here!) End users
SLIDE 8
A service oriented architecture (SOA) harnessing the capabilities of the authentication service Special provision was made for redundancy and extensibility
SLIDE 9
Testing – ensuring security works and
applications are not broken
Application interoperability issues Poor documentation of legacy applications User adoption -change comes with a price!
SLIDE 10
Deployment of a strong authentication
service may be complex to manage if not properly planned ahead
Strong authentication solution reduced cases
- f impersonation and identity theft
Educating users about new technologies
should begin very early in the project plan
SLIDE 11
Extending the architecture to incorporate a
secure Single-SignOn Solution
Extending the middleware product to work
with other Authentication services other than Entrust IdentityGuard

Ask good questions and listen even more
(details count)
Plan for today’s problems with tomorrow in
mind
Document! Document! Document! Do not reinvent the wheel - master your
platform
SLIDE 14
Develop an open mind. There is always
something new to learn on each project
Mastery of database design (and in general
software development) requires a lot of practice and good habits
Stay up-to-date! Don’t wait for your first job
