 escalation are two of the most common events that happen before SQL security attacks. SQL
server audit tools can help organizations understand how access control plays a major role in database security, as they track user
permissions and potential database user account misuse. 

With Security Event Manager (SEM), you can track, report, and alert on unauthorized user login attempts within
the database, and generate SQL server audit log reports for compliance purposes.

Maintain SQL server security

Use Security Event Manager to send alerts for unknown user logons, service shutdowns, duplicate connection attempts, critical logon failures, object change attempts, and other anomalies in real time. You can also configure the MSSQL Auditor feature in SEM to alert on specific events done against a SQL database that may signal potential threats. SolarWinds SEM is designed to collect, normalize, parse, and allow you to manage SQL audit logs for actionable insights across your databases, applications, infrastructure, and other sources.

Detect and deter cyberattacks with SQL server audit tools

Admins need to be able to closely monitor DBCC transactional statement security events, including drop and delete
table statements as well as changes in access permissions. Security Event Manager enables you to improve situational
awareness within your SQL server by using its out-of-the-box event correlation rules for threat
detection. These rules can study database transactions, detect known threats, and track malicious and untrusted
activities to identify and discover new threats. Using historical data and new findings, you can better tailor the
automated responses in SEM to meet your specific threat mitigation needs.

Get More on SQL Server Audit Logs

Do you find yourself asking…

  • A SQL server audit log is a file created during an audit of Microsoft SQL Server that lists the results. Running audits of SQL servers is essential to identifying SQL server security issues and potential breaches on the server. Auditing SQL is also a requirement to be in compliance with regulations like PCI DSS, HIPAA, and GDPR. To demonstrate compliance, organizations may be legally required to audit SQL server access records, report suspicious or malicious activity, or track login attempts, security changes, and other potential attack vectors.
