Nokia phones. It is also part of the Alliance for Affordable
Internet together with Intel, Facebook, and Google among other
companies. The alliance seeks to make internet access
affordable to many people and broadening internet access in
developing countries.
I have chosen Microsoft as the basis of my study because it
incorporates the seven criteria that this project hopes to
achieve. Firstly, Microsoft's nature of business calls for
heightened security because of its storage online. As such,
security policies are of major concern to the company. It also
has a database that calls for it to have a robust database
architecture that maintains the integrity of the Microsoft
system. Any company that deals with computer software must
have a secure database. User accounts must be secure; the
passwords of various users must be well protected to ensure that
chances of illegal access to the system are non-existent. In
addition, the privileges and roles of all users in the company's
database are always clearly set and defined. This is important if
the database is going to remain secure. I will also take time to
analyze the data isolation procedures that exist at Microsoft.
Microsoft, therefore, offers a good platform on where to base
my project on. Being a diversified company, studying it will
provide numerous opportunities for fulfilling the seven main
parts of this project.
