Securing JDBC driver applications
Enhancing the security of a Microsoft JDBC Driver for SQL Server application is crucial. Security involves more than avoiding common coding pitfalls. An application that accesses data has many potential failure points that an attacker can exploit. Security failures may allow attackers to retrieve, manipulate, or destroy sensitive data. It's important to understand all aspects of application security. From the process of threat modeling during the design phase to eventual deployment, and continuing through ongoing maintenance.
The articles in this section describe some common security concerns including connection strings, validating user input, and general application security.
