No SQL DBA should be without this material. Of the vulnerabilities I come across in my security testing SQL Server/database issues are always at the top of the list. I don’t know what it is but I’ve yet to come across a “hardened” SQL Server system. Not good for business when some of your most critical systems are often the weakest and just sitting there waiting to be attacked.
