Presenting at SQL Saturday Madison 2016!

Thank you so much to the wonderful organizing committee of SQL Saturday Madison 2016 for selecting me to present!

I'm a huge fan of Madison – it's a great city that's not-too-terribly far from my house. I've had amazing times at their previous SQL Saturdays in 2012, 2013, and 2015, and I can only assume it will be just as awesome this year. They've put together a wonderful schedule with amazing presenters both local and from afar.

The presentation I'll be giving is an introduction to SQL Server Encryption. Security is only getting more important as time goes on, and encryption continues to play an increasing role across the board. While it was once seen as necessary only at the client level, the calls for databases to be encrypted as well are becoming more and more frequent. This session will cover SQL Server's encryption capabilities and what they have to offer, including certificates, encryption algorithms, backup encryption, transparent database encryption, and column-level encryption.

Registration for SQL Saturday Madison is still open right now, so if you'd like to see a day's worth of amazing presenters cover Microsoft's Data Platform technologies, sign up today!
