Topic: De-mystifying SQL Security: Open Discussion and Real-World Insights

Speaker: Andreas Wolter

Abstract:
Join us for an interactive session on data security, led by Andreas Wolter, a former senior member of Microsoft’s data security team with over two decades of customer experience. The session fosters open discussion on how today’s threat landscape jeopardizes the confidentiality and availability of your data—whether it resides in Microsoft SQL Server on-premises or in cloud platforms such as Azure SQL and Fabric SQL Database.
We’ll explore common security pitfalls and misconceptions, opportunities for vendors to dramatically strengthen the security of their products and discuss practical steps customers can take to strengthen their security posture.
Get ready for an open discussion on which measures truly prevent or mitigate breaches versus those that primarily fulfill compliance checklists. Designed for database professionals, software vendors, and auditors, this session offers valuable insights from every perspective.

* The session is aiming for interactive discussion rather than mere presenting. There are some slides and maybe 2 demos, but not more
