SharePoint uses MS SQL Server for two purposes:
- Content database - used to store and manage SharePoint content
- Configuration database - used to store the global configuration settings for the associated SharePoint form.
The types of controls used to secure the SQL Server database include
- Configure authentication protocol
- Firewall
- Control administrative accounts
- Monitor usage
SQL Server provides a lot of security functionality, and this can be used with SharePoint.
