  • Connection encryption is pretty low on the list of priorities for database security. Proper accounts and rights management is far more important.

    SQL traffic shouldn’t really run over anything but short LAN links. Ideally separated from other stuff entirely, but just not spewed over your whole LAN, and really not over the Internet at all.
