Securing SQL Server

Kevin Feasel

Your organization's data will always be a primary target for adversaries. If you are using SQL Server to store this data, there are a wealth of settings and tools available to improve your security posture. In this talk, we will look at different methods of securing a SQL Server instance, from venerable (principle of least privilege, Transparent Data Encryption) to modern (Always Encrypted with secure enclaves, Microsoft Defender), and many things in between. These tools and techniques will show us ways for developers, database administrators, systems administrators, and network specialists to work together to secure SQL Server instances.
