Databases contain some of your most sensitive data, which makes them an obvious target for attackers. Most attackers are usually looking for data, whether it is to acquire sensitive data for their own use (to sell), to encrypt it (to sell back to you), or to destroy it (to cause you reputational and operational harm). Databases have an extended attack surface and are often misconfigured which can lead to an attacker gaining access, elevating permissions, and wreaking havoc.
This recommendation is generated by Defender for SQL on machines Vulnerability Assessment. The rules that we check for are a set of possible misconfigurations that should be addressed. When you have findings for this recommendation, you have four options on how to handle it. We’ll go into depth on each of them in this blog.
