24 Hours of PASS: Data Security and Quality Wrapup
Thank you to all who attended my session on “Passive Security for Hostile Environments” back on the 3rd of this month. I consider it an honor to be part of such a wonderful lineup. I just received my evaluations and comments, and am very happy to report that the results were extremely positive. Thank you very much to the people who took the time to rate my presentation and offer feedback, which I will include at the end of this post.
I was also very surprised to hear that my session had 193 attendees, which puts it in the top five in terms of attendance – wow!
If you weren’t able to attend but would like to check it out, a recording is now available.
My slide deck is available for download on the 24 Hours of PASS site.
Demo scripts and other resources are available here.

I also received the following comments:
- excellent demos and real deep dive into the details of each area he covered.
- Your demo scenarios were very effective in showing the strengths and weaknesses of each option. Well done.
- great use of demos!
- Thank you!
- Great presentation. Good demos – be great to get a copy of the scripts.
- I had a lot of familiarity with DDL/DML triggers and Event Notifications. There were some new aspects you showed that I had not considered. Impersonation, for instance. Policy based management is something I haven’t used, but have read about. The session helped reinforce what I’ve learned in the past. Slide decks are great. But I prefer live demos and the code. You had a good, complementary mix of both.
- Wow, this was incredibly good! So well organized. You covered a lot of territory.
- Great overview of the different tech
- Very clear explanations and demos, great pace for a webinar. Packed full of useful examples for real projects. Thank you!

24 Hours of PASS Webinar Wrapup
Our very own Microsoft Certified Master Bob Pusateri presented last week for this year's 24 Hours of PASS Data Security and Quality webinar series a new session entitled "Passive Security for Hostile Environments".
Track: Enterprise Database Administration & Deployment
Ideal database security settings usually exist in books, but rarely in reality. Is your CIO a member of the sysadmin role because they demanded it? Or maybe some users have rights for purely political reasons? Just because you can't enforce security through typical means doesn't mean you're powerless. Attend this session to learn about the features SQL Server provides that will allow you to keep track of what your users are up to at all times and sleep a little easier. Through various scenarios and demos, see how technologies such as event notifications, auditing, and extended events can help ensure nothing happens on your system without you knowing about it. Even in optimally secured environments these techniques can still come in handy. The best security is often that which cannot be seen.
The slides have been uploaded to the PASS site here. The recordings should be online soon at PASS's learning center site.
PASS Summit 2016 Preview Session this Wednesday
Heraflux is very excited to be presenting the opening slot for this year's 24 Hours of PASS - Summit Preview Edition - this Wednesday morning (September 7th) at 8am Eastern. The title of the session is "The Complete Primer to SQL Server Virtualization". The session is a one-hour preview to David's all-day PASS Summit pre-conference training session to be held on Tuesday, October 25th ahead of the PASS Summit conference.
Session Abstract: Your SQL Servers are probably virtualized at this point, but do you feel you have lost that control over the infrastructure that you used to have when they were physical servers? Do the virtual SQL Servers “feel” slower after they were virtualized? When architected and managed with SQL Server in mind, this added layer will help improve the SQL Server’s availability and ability to change with the business, but only when executed properly.
Register for the 24 Hours of PASS - Summit Preview Edition - here!
The expanded all-day session goes into 400-level detail on the hypervisors, how they work, and how to squeeze the most performance from every layer of your virtual environment.
If you are interested in the topic, check out the preview session! If you are intrigued after listening in, please register for the pre-conference session at the PASS Summit 2016.
