Upcoming Meetings and Announcements

The PASS Summit is one of the best training opportunities available. You’ll get top quality instruction from top flight SQL Server experts including Microsoft MVP’s. The location of the summit in Seattle means a large cohort of Microsoft expertise will also be available. The earlier you sign up, the less expensive the cost, and you can book your hotel early too.

 

Be sure to use Southern New England SQL Server Users Group in your registration. We are an official PASS chapter.

 

For the very best experience at the PASS Summit, volunteer to help. You’ll get more networking opportunities by volunteering than you’ll believe possible. If you need to sell the boss on the idea, you might be interested in this Return on Investment information. Watch for Tweets using the #sqlpass tag for more interesting information both before and during the summit.

July Meeting – 7/8/2009

Andrew Novick - Defending SQL Server from SQL Injection Attacks

SQL Injection attacks have emerged as the application security issue that creates the most data loss and web site defacement incidents passing cross-site scripting.  Defending SQL Server from SQL injection continues to be a problem for many applications.  This presentation will discuss the ways that SQL Server developers and DBA can harden their applications and servers.  The methods demonstrated include:

 

  • Protecting Dynamic SQL statements when they can’t be eliminated.
  • Security configuration to minimize the vulnerable surface area
  • Using DML triggers to thwart many common attacks
  • Managing stored procedure privilege with the EXECUTE AS clause
  • Using DDL triggers to minimize vulnerabilities
  • The ineffectiveness of database and column encryption as defenses from SQL injection.

 

The SQL Server is one of the most vulnerable components of an application and one of the most frequently attacked.  Come hear about the techniques you can use to protect it from SQL injection attacks.
