  • A Tour of SQL Server Security Features

    Abstract

    Protecting data from unauthorized access becomes more important all the time. SQL Server includes a number of features that make data protection and security easier for developers and DBAs with a framework for protecting data. Come learn how Always Encrypted, TDE, Row Level Security, Dynamic Data Masking, and column level encryption can protect your systems.

    You will learn:

    • About the different encryption and security features in SQL Server
    • Understand the code changes required for encryption mechanisms
    • Gain a basic understanding of RLS and DDM, which do not require code changes to help protect data

    Level: 100

    Demos

    This talk includes the following demos

    • Always Encrypted setup and data access
    • Row Level Security setup and use
    • Dynamic Data Masking for users
    • Column Level Encryption implementation
    • TDE setup and verification
