Getting started with Db2 security

Db2 security refers to the protection of sensitive data and system resources by controlling access to Db2 objects, subsystems, and other assets.

Db2 security is set through a security plan, implemented through privilege and authority management, and reinforced through the audit of accesses to protected data. A security plan defines the security objectives of your organization and specifies the policies and techniques that you use to meet these objectives. A security audit traces all data access and determines whether your security plan works as designed and implemented.
