SQL Server 2008: Security

  • Article

SQL Server 2008 may be a mature product, but security continues to be an area of deliberate improvement. The new release includes numerous enhancements and new features that can help you improve the overall security of your database environment. You get new encryption and authentication capabilities, a new auditing system to help you report on user behavior and meet regulatory requirements, and policy-based management.

In the April issue of TechNet Magazine, Rick Byham gives an overview of the most important security-related changes you'll find in SQL Server 2008.

And if you have SQL Server questions, be sure to read our SQL Q&A column.  The April installment discusses growing databases, use IFilters, and connect clients remotely.
