“Data accessibility is a major goal (and concern) in database security. Many organizations can not work properly if databases are down, they are what we know as mission-critical systems. To put the data available implies to provide the security mechanisms to ensure authentication, authorization and auditing procedures.”

Since 1999, Dr. Joaquin Trinanes has been the Op. Manager for NOAA/CoastWatch Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico Regional Node. Since April 2009, he has also been an Associate Professor at the Universidade de Santiago de Compostela in the Department of Electronics and Computer Science. In 2015, he became the Op. Manager NOAA Atlantic OceanWatch Node. Dr. Trinanes received his PhD in Physics from the University of Santiago de Compostela in Spain. For his thesis, he implemented a global Fisheries Information System using satellite data.
