Security features

Db2® technology complies with many security standards and enables you to manage access to your database.

Database user management
Management of users that were given access to the database is the sole responsibility of the user or users with the administrator role.
Audit policy guidelines
To manage access to your sensitive data, you can use a variety of authentication and access control mechanisms to establish rules and controls for acceptable data access. But, to protect against and discover unknown or unacceptable behaviors, you can monitor data access by using the Db2® audit facility.
