Security Risks in Database Migration
As organizations become more reliant on database
applications, companies may require to migrate their databases
allowing for cheaper running which can then replicated to the
consumers with reduced charges. This can be demonstrated with
the recent move of Apple Inc.’s iCloud user data to Chinese
servers. The move by the company was to reduce the expense of
running the severs “inhouse,” however, brought about questions
regarding data security for people using smart devices.
Nevertheless, data migration can be daunting particularly when
the event is unplanned or unwanted (Fisch, White, & Pooh,

2. 2017). When companies migrate, they experience some risks
and challenges as servers are moved from one location to
another. Among the first issues is the loss of data or
information (Fisch, White, & Pooh, 2017). In a recent study, it
was estimated that this problem accounts for approximately
fifty percent of all problems that occur during this process. The
outcomes of this problem are viewed as damaging for both
businesses and individuals using the services (Fisch, White, &
Pooh, 2017).
Though this problem is common during database
migration, it is not the only one, another issue is semantics risk
(Malik & Patel, 2016). The term semantic risk is given or used
in database security when data or information is imprecisely, or
improperly stored resulting in misinterpretations that quickly
escalate to adverse outcomes due to computation errors.
Therefore, even if the data transfer to the new location was
completely efficient some errors may occur when recompiling
the data. There are possibilities that information can be
unintentionally saved in the wrong location or folder. This can
be especially harmful to organizations that deal with numbers or
currency such as the various stock exchange organizations
globally. In other words, sematic risk can be described as when
misunderstanding results in misallocation (Malik & Patel,
2016). This can allow hackers to easily access data that should
be properly secured by the various protocols in place. The final
security issue with data migration is the risk of incompatibility,
though compatibility can be tested, not all the data being sent
will be compatible in some cases exemplifying them from
security measures thus offering a breach or point of attack
(Yunis, Yunus, Nawi, & Surin, 2017).
Overall, data security is important as demonstrated by
the recent attacks and breaches that resulted in data leaks of
high-profile companies for example Facebook. When migrating
data from one server to another as done by Apple Inc. In the
example offered, corporate data has to be accessed and for this
reason, security cannot be left to chance as the information is

3. both sensitive and critical (Kumar et al., 2017). The challenges
and risks of insufficient security are as demonstrated in the
prior sections of this paper. The outcomes of such mishaps to
data can be loss of customers and depending on the scale of the
problem, legal action can be taken up (Muslmani, Kazakzeh,
Ayoubi, & Aljawarneh, 2018). For this reason, all data
irrespective of the source should be handled with respect. By
assessing the data being transferred and the costs that may arise
from data breaches can offer a cost-effective means of data
migration. However, this does not affirm that the data being
migrated will be completely secure from breach or other forms
of security issues.

This article takes the approach to database security
problems from a different perspective. The authors acknowledge
that database security is becoming more necessary as humanity
adapts to the internet-age. They further recognize that in the
past two decades, the internet has become more complex and
interconnected thereby resulting in shared vulnerabilities due to
the complex security architectures implemented.

importance of databases in the digital world of today. This is
then followed by the various forms of security issues such
databases undergo from cyber attacks to data leaks. Finally,
they address the various methods of security that can be
implemented.
