By default, MySQL is configured to only allow connections from the local system. If you want to connect to a MySQL server from a remote system, it is recommended to secure it with SSL/TLS. Enabling SSL/TLS will encrypt the data being sent to and from the database.
This article will demonstrate the differences between LOAD DATA INFILE and INSERT and explain when you should use both for data entry in MySQL.
Transparent Data Encryption, or TDE, is used to secure the data at rest. In other words, it encrypts the data in a database to prevent an attacker from reading the data if they break the first line of defense.
SQL injection attacks traditionally represent one of the largest threats to database security. This article explains what they are and how you can prevent them.
Small teams can do a lot to secure their databases with this checklist - also available as a Notion doc!
