Product Description
Book Description
Securing SQL Server is one of the most important responsibilities of the SQL Server professional. Ensuring your data is safe requires a combination of good systems and database administration, and intelligent application design – weaving a security plan that matches the capabilities and vulnerabilities of each contributing part.
But at its root, security is concerned with controlling access – authenticating who can access the data on the server, authorizing what users can do with that data, and securing data as it is transported. These core topics are the focus of this book.
SQL Server Security Distilled shows you:
What you can do to secure date in SQL Server
How SQL Server handles authentication and authorization in different versions
How SQL Server security integrates with Windows security
The security pros and cons of different transport protocols
Ways to tailor SQL Server security to different applications, including client-server and Web applications
How to secure DTS packages
The implications of different types of replication for security
The security features of SQL Server CE and its server-side agents
Curlingstone is a new imprint providing practical information on all aspects of the technology, techniques, and job roles that form the database community.

A holistic approach to security,
By Joe Webb (Brentwood, TN USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: SQL Server Security Distilled (Paperback)
If you are responsible for a SQL Server database, can you afford not to think about security? Of course not. And this book definitely puts you on the right track. It offers a great great and encompassing view of the issues we as IT professionals face when it comes to SQL Server Security. It's not the same old best practices, rather it explains the why's behind the how's.

Good book, but nothing extraordinary,
By
This review is from: SQL Server Security DBA Handbook (Paperback)
This is a good book on security and covers most of the SQL security issues. It even goes in depth in describing the SQL security at the network layer. But if you already know that you should use Windows authentication, not use SA or other SQL accounts, stay away from port 1433, and regularly update SQL security patches, then you probably won't benefit substantially by reading this book. Nevertheless, it provides a comprehensive review of the SQL security.

A Note from the Author,
By Morris L. (Nashville, TN United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: SQL Server Security DBA Handbook (Paperback)
I spent just under 2 years doing the research for this book. In terms of breadth of coverage, there is no better book on the market. Rather than searching Microsoft's mammoth site for articles and white papers, everything you need to understand SQL Server security from version 6.5 to 2000 is in one book. This book also goes deeper than the basic introduction to the various security mechanisms. Many books will tell you what SQL Server offers, but very few provide detailed information on *how* and *why* it works the way it does. Each chapter provides insights into the inner workings of SQL Server's security architecture and provides practical advice on how to use that information to keep your systems safe. There are some other books that focus on showing you "hackers' tricks" for attacking your database servers, but this book takes the premise that if you do things the right way from the beginning, no hacker is ever going to find a trick that works on your systems. As an example, this book recommended configuring firewalls to block the traffic used by the Spammer virus long before the virus became news. Those who read this book and followed its advice slept soundly the weekend that Spammer was taking the Internet down. Since the future of Curlingstone is in doubt, support for the book has moved to www.,.,..com, and the author is not only committed to maintaining the current work but also planning to release an interim update in electronic format in the fall covering changes in SQL Server 2000 Service Pack 3 and any new discoveries found since December, 2002. The author also plans to release additional chapters on Yukon early next year for early adopters. This book is alive and will be updated periodically to keep its readers safe from the bad guys.
