MySQL Firewall

As SQL injection and unauthorized ad-hoc queries continue to pose significant threats to data integrity, mastering native defensive tools is essential for every database administrator. Join us for this technical deep dive into MySQL Firewall, where we explore how to move beyond basic security and implement a robust, "allow-list" architecture.

We will begin by establishing a solid foundation, demonstrating how to configure the firewall, designate administrative roles, and manage the essential system tables, procedures, and variables that drive the engine.

The session will then shift into active defense strategies, including:

• Intelligent Profiling: Learn how to group users and record their standard SQL patterns to create a baseline of acceptable behavior.
• Enforcement & Mitigation: Discover how to block unauthorized statements in real-time while ensuring "good" SQL continues to execute seamlessly.

Emergency & Audit Protocols: Learn how to handle urgent, non-standard queries by utilizing specialized modes that allow execution while logging suspicious, unprotected statements directly to the error log for forensic review.

Through live demonstrations of each configuration step and use case, you will leave this webinar with a clear blueprint for protecting your MySQL environment against modern injection attacks.
