K Brian Kelley has started a series on securing applications which connect to SQL Server:
In conjunction with the webinar I gave last month for MSSQLTips, I’ve started an article series on application database security design.
Read Part 1 – Authentication for SQL Server
The issue with a one hour webcast is one can’t cover a broad topic like application database security design in any depth. However, these webcasts are useful because they point out, at a high level, what to look for. It was my intent all along to do the webinar and follow up with a series of articles that cover each topic in detail. I’m not sure how many articles I’ll end up writing, as I want to make sure I cover each topic in the depth it needs while still keeping the article length manageable.
This first post is all about comparing and contrasting credentials options and authentication methods.
