Security is directed at preserving the Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability of digital assets and at protecting developer intellectual property. In a time when databases are regularly subjected to a variety of threats ranging from the malicious to the inadvertent, FileMaker developers, IT managers, and database administrators must take steps to protect digital assets. FileMaker Pro and FileMaker Server contemplate a system of role-based security coupled with industry standard Identity and Access Management controls. This series of movies examines many aspects of FileMaker security: how to construct it, how to manage it, how to deploy it, and how to avoid common, but costly, security errors.
