Could a rogue Absolute employee with direct access to the DB server, launch Data Delete via a backdoor?
A. No. It’s not just a matter of manipulating data on the production DB servers. Launching a Data Delete requires a large number of records in multiple tables to be created in the DB as well as the creation of specific executables in specific directories on the production call servers. A rogue employee would thus need an in-depth knowledge of the inner workings of the Data Delete process as well as administrative level access to both the production call servers and the production DB servers. The few developers that have this in-depth knowledge, do not have access to the production servers and the IT Administrators, that have the production access, do not have the domain knowledge.
