Hacking and Hacking Mitigation For SQL Server

Sander Stad - Hacking and Hacking Mitigation For SQL Server

In recent years we have seen and heard about a scenarios where hackers gained access to your system, databases are encrypted and where data is stolen.
The question is not if our systems are going to be attacked, but rather when this is going to happen.

As a data professional you have the obligation to protect the data to the best of your ability.
You have to deal with both outsider and insider threats.
Outside attackers motivated by profit, activism, retribution, or mischief.
Insider threats may have the same motives but could be tied to workplace issues resulting in people abusing their access privileges to inflict harm.

When you have been attacked it is really important to find out what happened and how to mitigate the attack.
Mitigation, or Attack Mitigation, is the reduction in seriousness or severity of an event.
In mitigation we center around strategies to limit the impact of a threat against our data.

In this session we will discuss:

Teach you how you can attack your systems
Mitigate the attack
