Welcome To SQLSecurity.com
This site is dedicated to those who are serious about security - specifically, Microsoft SQL Server security. Whatever your feelings about Microsoft, the bottom line is that these servers are showing up everywhere and its time we learned how to properly secure them. At this site we do just that. We find problems, post solutions, and get the word out. If anyone tells you that security ends with the OS, they are dead wrong. Many times excellent network and host-based security has been bypassed exposing the very heart of the enterprise: all because of poor SQL Server configuration.   

"There is no 'patch' for stupidity."

Have you blocked access to TCP 1433 and UDP 1434 from all un-trusted clients? No? Then get to it!
