My company provides some services online, which now they are planning to make it offline and sell to customers who can use it in their networks.
One of our major moneywinners is some data which is stored in a database. Now, this data inside the database was obtained after paying through the nose - so the company does not want to disclose the data in the DB to the outside world - not to mention the lawsuits which the original providers of data will start which will sink the company if the data goes out. Now, the code is in Python - and we have a big problem. How to secure the data in DB? One idea was to encrypt it and store the password in the code. I dont believe security through obscurity - and python code can easily be reverse-engineered too - right? Is it even possible to secure a data in this case?
