New Securing a SQL Server
Looking for tips, tricks, and best practices. I've already done a [link|http://www.google.com/search?q=securing+a+new+sql+server+instance&sourceid=mozilla-search&start=0&start=0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8|google on the topic], so I'm preferably looking for some of the more-hidden gotchas that a SQL Server admin might run into.

So, SQL admins, what's your experience teach you?

First check out the sites listed here:

[link|http://twiki.iwethey.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/MicrosoftSQLServer|http://twiki.iwethey...icrosoftSQLServer]

Then after learning the basics or if you already know them, check this site out:
[link|http://www.sqlsecurity.com/DesktopDefault.aspx|http://www.sqlsecuri...sktopDefault.aspx]

I like their quote:
"There is no 'patch' for stupidity."

Then here:
[link|http://vyaskn.tripod.com/sql_server_security_best_practices.htm|http://vyaskn.tripod...est_practices.htm]

Then here:

Good luck!
