What are the steps you will take, if you are tasked with
securing an SQL Server?
Answer / sandeep
Again this is another open ended question. Here are some
things you could talk about: Preferring NT authentication,
using server, databse and application roles to control
access to the data, securing the physical database files
using NTFS permissions, using an unguessable SA password,
restricting physical access to the SQL Server, renaming the
Administrator account on the SQL Server computer, disabling
the Guest account, enabling auditing, using multiprotocol
encryption, setting up SSL, setting up firewalls, isolating
SQL Server from the web server etc.
