At the MySQL BR Conference 2025 I had the opportunity to speak about Improving Your MySQL Security Posture. You can find a copy of my slides on my Presentations , and a Portugese (Brazil) translation.
Thank you to the event sponsors - Readyset , ProxySQL , PDB Monitor , Percona , Alura and FAIP for the venue.
As with all presentations it is great to hear from the individual experiences of the audience or to learn something new on the topic. Thanks Fred for informing me of Connection Control Plugins available in MySQL 8.0, and Connection Control Component available from 9.2.
- MySQL Server includes a plugin library that enables administrators to introduce an increasing delay in server response to connection attempts after a configurable number of consecutive failed attempts. This capability provides a deterrent that slows down brute force attacks against MySQL user accounts.
