In today’s increasingly digital world, ensuring the security of data is paramount. This session, will dive into the essential practices and principles of secure SQL Server database development. Attendees will learn how to adopt a proactive approach to database security from the initial stages of development, incorporating best practices to safeguard sensitive information against unauthorized access, data breaches, and malicious attacks. The session will explore critical security features within SQL Server, such as encryption, authentication, role-based access control, and auditing. Furthermore, we will address the importance of regular security assessments and continuous monitoring to stay ahead of evolving threats. By the end of the presentation, developers will have the knowledge and tools to integrate security seamlessly into the database development lifecycle, ensuring their SQL Server databases are resilient and compliant with industry standards and regulations.

In this session, we will explore the inner workings of Kerberos authentication in Active Directory and its critical role in modern network security, with a special focus on delegation and its application to SQL Server environments. Kerberos is the gold standard for secure authentication in distributed systems, but its…

In today’s world of escalating cyber threats, securing your SQL Server environment has become a critical priority. The phrase "It's not a matter of if, but when you're going to be hacked" has never been more true. With external attacks becoming more sophisticated, organizations must prepare for the inevitable and safeguard their SQL Server data platform against data breaches, unauthorized access, and data loss. This talk will focus on the essential steps to secure SQL Server environments against external threats and prevent the loss of critical data. We'll explore how to design a security strategy that reduces the attack surface and ensures your data is protected - even when facing advanced, targeted attacks. From securing network connections and enforcing strong authentication mechanisms to implementing encryption, we'll discuss a range of practical, actionable measures that will help you safeguard your SQL Server Platform from malicious external actors.

In this session we will look at how Kerberos works within Active Directory, we'll start from the login process up to the use of services. We're then moving into delegation, the technical aspects of it, how the various delegation types work, including their weaknesses and how this relates to our SQL Data Platform.
