SQL Server and Azure SQL provide many different functionalities and services which help you to protect your most valuable assets: your data. But features alone do not protect if not carefully thought through and working in siloed manners. Without a properly planned security strategy, it is too easy to miss gaps between security controls and finding oneself exposed when a serious attack occurs.
In today’s environment of “hacking as a service”, state-funded and orchestrated hacking groups, being properly prepared for all scenarios can become vital to a company’s survival.
In this session, Andreas Wolter, a former program manager for SQL security at Microsoft with over 2 decades of experience working with customers, will guide you through strategically approaching security concepts, which starts at the overall system’s architecture and does not end with encryption alone.
Under an assume breach mindset we will look at various attack vectors, from ransomware attacks to data exfiltration and possible ways to prevent or limit the blast radius.
This session is aimed at security managers and architects who want to learn how to secure their SQL environments and data not just using the latest technologies and features but also how to approach it strategically.
