Navicat Connecting to MySQL Database: A Security Audit Guide to Ensure无忧 Database Security

# 1. Database Security Auditing Overview Database security auditing is a process of regularly examining and analyzing database systems to identify and assess security risks, ensuring the security and integrity of the database systems. It involves a comprehensive security assessment of the database system, including user privilege management, database object privilege management, connection security settings, privilege auditing, connection auditing, and database activity auditing, among other aspects. Database security auditing is crucial for protecting the database systems from unauthorized access, malicious attacks, and data breaches. By conducting regular security audits, security vulnerabilities can be timely identified and addressed, preventing potential security threats and ensuring the secure and stable operation of the database systems. # 2. Navicat Connection to MySQL Database: Security Configuration ### 2.1 User Privilege Management #### 2.1.1 Creating and Managing Users When creating a MySQL user in Navicat, you need to specify the username, password, host, and privileges. ```sql CREATE USER 'newuser'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'password'; ``` * `newuser`: The newly created username * `%`: Allows users to connect from any host * `password`: The user's password To delete a user, you can use the following command: ```sql DROP USER 'newuser'@'%'; ``` #### 2.1.2 Granting and Revoking Privileges In MySQL, privileges are divided into global privileges and object privileges.
