DB Security Best Practices

Database security best practices are a collection of methods used to protect sensitive data from unauthorized access, modification, or deletion. They involve implementing access controls based on the least privilege principle, routinely updating systems, using strong passwords, limiting remote access, avoiding the admin account for everyday tasks, encrypting communication, performing regular backups, monitoring and auditing database operations, performing vulnerability scanning, and guarding against SQL injection attacks by using parameterized queries or prepared statements.
