IBM DB2 is a database management system that runs on a wide range of technologies, including Linux, UNIX, Windows, mainframes, and IBM Power Systems. You can use DB2 as a managed service in the cloud or deploy it in a cluster to provide high availability, making it suitable for a wide range of enterprise and customer-facing applications.
One of the oldest (but often neglected) security vulnerabilities is SQL injection. One common scenario goes like this: An unsuspecting programmer writes an application that accepts input from the user which serves as a parameter to retrieve or store data from a database (e.g., a web login form). The programmer writes a dynamically populated SQL query inside the app, based on user input like username and password (see Image 1 for reference).
