Resources for SQL Server security

    Hi guys,

    I'm a database developer, but I've been trying to edify myself about aspects of SQL security (specifically I'm interested in learning about Transparent Data Encryption).

    I have a book on SQL Server Administration but surprisingly it hardly mentioned TDE at all. There are a few articles I've stumbled across on SSC and some other places, but nothing that does a really good job of explaining it from start to finish.

    Does anyone have suggestions on books or blogs devoted to security of SQL Server, again, specifically in regards to TDE.

    Books Online for this is actually pretty good. Its thorough and links to some other useful articles about TDE.

    I know this is the 2014 forum but the SQL Server 2012 Security Best Practice Whitepaper is good and talks about TDE.

    Other than that I have actually found that SSC is a great resource. Check out:

    TDE and SQL Server Databases[/url] by Perry Whittle
