Last Thursday, I delivered a presentation for Pragmatic Works Training on the T’s. The session for last week was Introduction to SQL Server Security, a part of last month’s series of introductory presentations.

The abstract for the sessions is:

One of the most often overlooked feature sets of SQL Server is it’s security features. The focus is often on what type of data, how to store the data, and how to get the data out of SQL Server. As DBAs, we also need to be consider how to lock down the data and implement security. In this session, we’ll investigate the basic components of security within SQL Server. Also, we’ll review some practices for that you may want to adopt to secure your environment.
