Chapter 3. Securing MariaDB
Bad things happen, whether accidentally or on purpose, and we want to protect our MariaDB database against both. Threats come in many different forms and come from many different places, including—but not limited to—physical threats, filesystem threats, network threats, and user threats.
The topics that we will cover in this chapter include the following:
- Security layers
- Securing MariaDB in 10 seconds
- Connecting safely
- Server security
- Building security
- Internal network security
- Internet security
