TechNet Webcast: Measuring the Security Quality of SQL Server 2005 and the Security Development Lifecycle (Level 200)  

Every vulnerability in a database infrastructure means attacks are that much more likely to succeed. With that in mind, the Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG) compiled data to compare security vulnerabilities in Microsoft SQL Server 2005, the first Microsoft product to run through the Security Development Lifecycle (SDL), with those in competing products. Join this webcast as we review the highlights of the SDL, illustrate the process of quantifying security quality, and explain what you can learn from the experiences that Microsoft had.
