You will learn about the SQL Server Configuration Manager and working with Windows Firewall. You will also understand the password issues and policies for consumers of SQL resources. Security Steps during Installation Service Accounts Types of Authentication Administrator Account Security Steps after Installation Managing Services Using SSCM Managing Server Network Protocols using SSCM Managing Client Network Protocols using SSCM Working with Windows Firewall Connecting to a SQL Server Instance SQL Server Resources Consumers Types of SQL Server Consumers Password Issues Password Policy Lab : Configuring Access to SQL Server Configuring TCP Port Opening TCP port 1433 on Windows Firewall Lab : Configuring Password Policy Configuring Password Policy through SSMS Configuring Password Policy through T-SQL Code Testing the Password Policy
Understand what are the service accounts. Determine types of authentication. Understand the risk of administrator accounts. Module 3: Authentication and Authorization This module describes how to the authentication and authorization process in SQL Server works. presented in this module will detail how to authenticate and authorize users to access and use SQL data. You will also learn about server-side and database security. Authentication Process of Authentication Windows Authentication SQL Server Authentication Database Authentication Authorization Process of Authorization Mapping Login to User Default Database Users Accessing SQL Server Resources Server-Side Security Database Security Schema Separation Lab : Authenticating Users Creating a New Windows Login Creating a New Contained Database Lab : Authorizing Users Creating New Database Users Lab : Applying Security Policy Applying Server-Side Policy Applying Database Access Policy Understand how to use the authentication process. Understand and use the authorization process. Access SQL Server resources. Module 4: Protecting Data This module describes how to protect your data in SQL Server 2012. presented in this module will detail how cryptography works and the crypto features in SQL Server 2012. You will learn about security keys and how they various methods of data encryption used, such as TDE, Symmetric and Asymmetric encryption. You will also learn the difference between hashing and encryption. Understanding Cryptography What is Cryptography? Types of Cryptography SQL Server Cryptographic Features Keys What is a Key? Service Master Key Database Master Key Database Encryption Keys Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) What is Transparent Data Encryption? Transparent Data Encryption Architecture
Implementing Transparent Data Encryption Symmetric Encryption Symmetric Encryption Model Creating Symmetric Keys Implementing Symmetric Encryption Asymmetric Encryption Asymmetric Encryption Model Creating Asymmetric Keys Implementing Asymmetric Encryption Hashing What is Hashing?

Know what cryptographic elements are. Defining cryptography in SQL Server. Recognize and use correct cryptographic SQL Server mechanisms. Module 5: Auditing on SQL Server This module describes the auditing process and how to use the various methods. presented in this module will detail the classic auditing methods, such as using triggers. You will learn how to configure SQL Server auditing and how to access the audit logs. You will also learn about database forensics and collecting digital evidence. Classic Audit Methods DDL Triggers DML Triggers SQL Server Profiler SQL Server Auditing SQL Server Audit Components Configuring SQL Server Audit Accessing SQL Server Audit Logs Database Forensics Digital Evidence Methods for Collecting Data Securing Digital Evidence Lab : Audit User Activity Implementing DML Trigger
Lab : Auditing Server and Database Activity Implementing Server-Side Auditing Configuring Server-Side Auditing Lab : Securing Digital Evidence Implementing Server-Side Auditing Tampering Evidence Implement classic auditing on SQL Server. Implement a new Audit feature in SQL Server 2012. Understand the basics about database forensics. Module 6: SQL Server Security Threats and This module describes the security threats and the countermeasures used to protect your data and database server. presented in this module will detail the weak points inside and outside of SQL Server 2012. You will also learn how to identify specific threats, such as data transfer sniffing and SQL code injection and how to prevent them with the appropriate countermeasures. Threats from Authorized Users User s Role in Date Security and Privacy Examples of Threats Physically Stealing Data Weak Points Inside SQL Server Weak Points Outside of SQL Server Data Transfer Sniffing Client/Server Communications Why is a Firewall not Enough? SQL Injection What is SQL Injections? Demonstration of SQL Injection Lab : Limiting Threats from an Authorized User Implementing Explicit DENY Lab : Protecting Database Back-Up Implementing Transparent Data Encryption Lab : Protecting SQL Injection How to Protect SQL Injection on a User Table Identify threats from authorized users.
