Information Systems and Databases

The British Academy for Training and Development presents a training course on Information Systems and databases to whosoever aims to acquire experience in the field of database management and keeping information security confidentiality. Database is a type of electronic filing system; i.e. a collection of the elements of logical data related to each other with a mathematical relation. Database consists of one schedule or more where the schedule is made up of record(s). Each record consists of one or more field. For example, the record of an employee consists of some fields such as employee number, employee’s name, employee rank, date of appointment, salary, the department he is affiliated to and other data stored on computers regularly and systematically where computer or database driver facilitates the process of dealing with it and searching among this data. It also enables users to add or amend it. Data can be restored using commands of query language. Information aids in the process of decision making. Database Management System is a computer-software-application used to restore, add, amend or delete data where the application connects users to the database driver to perform this task. The main purpose of databases is to concentrate on the method of data organization not on special applications; i.e. the essential aim of the database designer is to design data which does not contain any repetition. Information Security (IS) is the system used to secure the data transmitted via networks. In the technological development age and the prevailing different means of information storage and exchange; i.e. information transmission on networks and from website to another, it has become important to consider and observe information and data security. Information security is the science applied to provide great and adequate protection of information against any risks which may threaten or damage it through the tools and means required to protect information against internal or external risks. All standards and procedures taken to prevent having access to information by persons who are not allowed to access them through communications are used to ensure the authenticity and correctness of these communications. All techniques used in the world cannot be executed without Information Security (IS).
