How to reduce your chances of being attacked

Let's look at how we can reduce our chances of getting attacked:

• We can begin to mitigate from the impact of an attack by making sure that that all excess database privileges are denied and that disclosure is for end users only
• Deflect from constructing dynamic SQLs with linked input values as they allow the easiest access for SQL injections
• Bind arguments eliminate the possibility of SQL injections and enhance performance
• Filter and sanitize input
• Have a set of defined rules for syntax, length, and type
• Use type-safe SQL parameters for data access
• Eliminate all procedures that are not in use
