DATABASE OBJECT PROTECTION IN SQL SERVERS

Abstract

Ensuring the security of database objects in SQL servers is a critical aspect of database administration. Unauthorized access, data breaches, and malicious attacks pose significant risks to database integrity. This paper explores various security mechanisms for protecting database objects, including authentication, authorization, encryption, auditing, and role-based access control (RBAC). It also discusses best practices for securing stored procedures, views, triggers, and other database objects. Emerging trends such as AI-driven security monitoring and zero-trust security models are analyzed to highlight the future of database protection.
