Well, this problem can be easily overcome by upsizing the Access database to incorporate the use of SQL server. \u00a0Let\u2019s know the benefits of upsizing a database to SQL Server.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Benefits Of Upsizing A Database To SQL Server<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This will allow improved security using a trusted connection. SQL server integrates with windows system security to give single integrated access to network and database. It makes it easier to administer complex security schemes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">All in all, when you upsize an Access database to an SQL server you will move all Access table and data to a more reliable and robust MS SQL server database. After then link the SQL server table back with your Access database front-end file. It\u2019s a common but secure way to use the Access database. Most clients use SQL server backend database with Access as their front-end file.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Just by shifting all your Access database data to SQL server backend database, you can take advantage of robust SQL server security capabilities. For best security features <strong>SQL server active Directory Security application<\/strong> is the best option to go with.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In the linked article, Microsoft lists many <strong>benefits of upsizing Access data to a SQL Server backend<\/strong>. The linked article is well worth your read. The benefit of Improved Security is highly important. By moving all of your <strong>Access data to a SQL Server backend database<\/strong>, you can immediately take advantage of the robust SQL Server Security capabilities. Specifically, you can use <strong>SQL Server Active Directory Security.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>2# Make use of AutoExec Macro \u2013<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Make use of AutoExec Macro to check modification done in the security session at the time of the last session. This feature of AutoExec Macro helps you in resetting the security settings.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It\u2019s a kind of macro which executes automatically at the time of execution of the database. For making a new <strong>AutoExec,<\/strong> assign a name like Macro AutoExec.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>3# De-select few Features \u2013 <\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Certain feature in database starts automatically when you execute the Access database. By choosing those to de-select a few of those automatically running features make your database are more secure. So the feature that you need to un-select is the <strong>\u2018Display Database Window\u2019.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Un-selecting the features won\u2019t allow easy access to the database window thus hides the content off. So, once you unselect the feature you need to select one or more feature to avoid database window exposure<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The feature that you need to de-select is <strong>\u2018Use Access Special Keys\u2019,<\/strong> users will be able to unhide the Database Window by hitting the <strong>F11 key<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>4# Harden Your Database to Fullest Extent Possible<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Make sure that the database you are using is still supported by vendors or open-source projects responsible for it. Running the most up to date version of database software with database security patches installed to remove known vulnerabilities.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">That\u2019s not enough, it\u2019s important to uninstall or disable any features or services which are not in use. Make sure you change the password of default accounts from default values. Or it will be better if you delete any default accounts which you don\u2019t require.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">At last, make a check whether all the database security controls provided by the database are enabled unless and until there is a specific reason for any to disable.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">After doing all this, you should audit the hardened configuration of your Access database using an automated change auditing tool if required. \u00a0To make sure you are quickly been informed if any changes to the hardened configuration are made which breaks off your Access database security.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>5# Audit and Monitor Database Activity<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In this database security step, you need to monitor logins to the OS and database. Also, review logs regularly to detect anomalous activity are also important.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">By making sharp monitoring you can spot when your account has been compromised. This will also help you when an employee carries out any suspicious activity or when the database is under attack. Apart from this, it will also help you in determining users sharing account which are created without any permission.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You can also take the help of <strong>Database activity monitoring (DAM) software<\/strong>. As this will provide you with easy monitoring of native database logging and audit functions this will also help you in monitoring administrator activity.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Vulnerable Databases Are Often Prone To Data Corruption<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-64585\" src=\"https:\/\/www.accessrepairnrecovery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/data-base-security.png\" alt=\"Vulnerable Databases Are Often Prone To Data Corruption\" width=\"586\" height=\"457\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.accessrepairnrecovery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/data-base-security.png 1660w, https:\/\/www.accessrepairnrecovery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/data-base-security-300x233.png 300w, https:\/\/www.accessrepairnrecovery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/data-base-security-768x598.png 768w, https:\/\/www.accessrepairnrecovery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/data-base-security-1024x797.png 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 586px) 100vw, 586px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you have a fear that your database is not secure as it is accessed by multiple users from different systems.
