To prevent SQL injections, all elements of a web application must be regularly monitored and updated, including database servers, frameworks, libraries, plugins, APIs, and web server software. For ...
A classification of SQL injection attacking vector as of 2010. In computing, SQL injection is a code injection technique used to attack data-driven applications, in which malicious SQL statements are inserted into an entry field for execution (e.g. to dump the database contents to the attacker).
The technique transforms an application SQL statement from an innocent SQL call to a malicious call that can cause unauthorized access, deletion of data, or theft of information. [ 3 ] One way that DAM can prevent SQL injection is by monitoring the application activity, generating a baseline of “normal behavior”, and identifying an attack ...

Some web servers have a guestbook script, which accepts small messages from users and typically receives messages such as: Very nice site! However, a malicious person may know of a code injection vulnerability in the guestbook and enter a message such as:
A web application firewall (WAF) is a specific form of application firewall that filters, monitors, and blocks HTTP traffic to and from a web service.By inspecting HTTP traffic, it can prevent attacks exploiting a web application's known vulnerabilities, such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), file inclusion, and improper system configuration.

After a data breach becomes known to the company, the next steps typically include confirming it occurred, notifying the response team, and attempting to contain the damage. [ 68 ] To stop exfiltration of data, common strategies include shutting down affected servers, taking them offline, patching the vulnerability, and rebuilding . [ 69 ]
Secure coding is the practice of developing computer software in such a way that guards against the accidental introduction of security vulnerabilities.Defects, bugs and logic flaws are consistently the primary cause of commonly exploited software vulnerabilities. [1]
This technique is often used to prevent SQL injection attacks. Taint checking can be done statically or dynamically. Taint checking can be done statically or dynamically. Abstract interpretation
