🛡️ SQL Security

Protect your database from common threats and vulnerabilities. Here’s the lowdown on best security practices for SQL.

🚨 Common Threat: SQL Injection

SQL Injection happens when attackers insert malicious SQL code into your queries, potentially stealing or destroying data.

🛠️ Best Practices to Prevent SQL Injection:

• Use Prepared Statements or Parameterized Queries
• Avoid directly concatenating user inputs into SQL commands
• Sanitize and validate all inputs
• Limit database user permissions (least privilege)
• Use stored procedures carefully

📜 Example: Unsafe Query Simulation

🔐 Other SQL Security Tips

• Use strong passwords and rotate them regularly
• Grant minimal privileges to database users
• Encrypt sensitive data at rest and in transit
• Regularly update and patch your database system
• Enable auditing and monitoring of database activity
