Database Security

-- Current Security Configuration Review
SELECT

-- User Access Review

-- Privilege Audit
SHOW GRANTS FOR 'app_user'@'localhost';

-- Security Recommendations Implementation
-- 1. Create dedicated application user with minimal privileges
CREATE USER 'app_readonly'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'strong_password_here';
GRANT SELECT ON application_db.* TO 'app_readonly'@'localhost';

CREATE USER 'app_readwrite'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'strong_password_here';
GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE ON application_db.* TO 'app_readwrite'@'localhost';

-- 2. Enable SSL/TLS encryption
ALTER USER 'app_user'@'localhost' REQUIRE SSL;

-- 3. Implement audit logging
INSTALL PLUGIN audit_log SONAME 'audit_log.so';
SET GLOBAL audit_log_policy = ALL;
SET GLOBAL audit_log_format = JSON;

Security Implementation Guidelines

Secure Coding Standards

Input Validation
- Validate all user inputs on both client and server side
- Use whitelist validation approach
- Implement proper error handling without information disclosure
Authentication & Authorization
- Implement multi-factor authentication where possible
- Use secure session management practices
- Implement proper role-based access control
Data Protection
- Encrypt sensitive data at rest and in transit
- Implement proper key management practices
- Use secure communication protocols (HTTPS, TLS 1.3)

Security Testing Strategy

Static Application Security Testing (SAST)
- Integrate security scanning in CI/CD pipeline
- Use tools like SonarQube, Checkmarx, or Semgrep
- Regular dependency vulnerability scanning
Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST)
- Automated penetration testing
- API security testing
- Runtime security monitoring
Interactive Application Security Testing (IAST)
- Real-time vulnerability detection
- Runtime application self-protection (RASP)
- Continuous security monitoring
