A. B. C. D.B
The correct answer for this question is B. Enable Advanced Data Security.
Explanation:
SQL injection attacks occur when an attacker uses malicious code to manipulate input parameters of a SQL statement. This can lead to the disclosure of sensitive information or the modification/deletion of data in a database. To evaluate the vulnerability of the managed instances to SQL injection attacks, you need to take measures to ensure the security of the SQL environment.
Advanced Data Security is a feature of Azure SQL Database and Azure SQL Managed Instance that provides a set of advanced security capabilities to detect and mitigate potential database vulnerabilities and threats. This includes vulnerability assessments, threat detection, and advanced data protection features. By enabling Advanced Data Security, you can assess the security of your SQL environment and take necessary actions to secure it.
Here are the steps to enable Advanced Data Security for Azure SQL Managed Instances:
Once Advanced Data Security is enabled, you can use the vulnerability assessment and threat detection features to evaluate the vulnerability of the managed instances to SQL injection attacks. The vulnerability assessment feature scans the managed instance for potential vulnerabilities and provides recommendations for mitigating them. The threat detection feature analyzes database activity and alerts you to potential security threats, including SQL injection attacks.
Therefore, enabling Advanced Data Security should be the first step in evaluating the vulnerability of the managed instances to SQL injection attacks.
