Client-side encryption of
sensitive data using keys that
are never given to the
database system
Support for equality
comparison, including join,
group by, and distinct
operators
Minimal application changes
via server and client library
enhancements
Allows customers to securely store sensitive data outside of their trust boundary.
Data remains protected from high-privileged, yet unauthorized users.
Security
Types of encryption for Always Encrypted
Randomized encryption
Encrypt('123-45-6789') = 0x17cfd50a
Repeat: Encrypt('123-45-6789') = 0x9b1fcf32
Allows for transparent retrieval of encrypted
data but NO operations
More secure
Deterministic encryption
Encrypt('123-45-6789') = 0x85a55d3f
Repeat: Encrypt('123-45-6789') = 0x85a55d3f
Allows for transparent retrieval of encrypted
data AND equality comparison
E.g. in WHERE clauses and joins, distinct,
group by
Security
Two types of encryption
available
Randomized encryption uses a method
that encrypts data in a less predictable
manner
Deterministic encryption uses a method
which always generates the same
encrypted value for any given plaintext
value
The need for row-level security
Protect data privacy by ensuring
the right access across rows
Customer 1
Fine-grained access control over specific rows in a database
table
Customer 2
Help prevent unauthorized access when multiple users
share the same tables, or to implement connection filtering
in multitenant applications
SQL Database
Administer via SQL Server Management Studio or SQL
Server Data Tools
Enforcement logic inside the database and schema is
bound to the table
Security
Customer 3
Benefits of row-level security (RLS)
Fine-grained
access control
Application
transparency
Centralized
security logic
Keeping multitenant
databases secure by limiting
access by other users who
share the same tables
RLS works transparently at
query time, no app changes
needed
Enforcement logic resides
inside database and is
schema-bound to the table it
protects providing greater
security. Reduced application
maintenance and complexity
Compatible with RLS in other
leading products
Store data intended for many consumers in a single database/table while at the same time
restricting row-level read and write access based on users’ execution context.
Security
Common RLS use cases
Traditional RLS workloads
Custom business logic to determine which rows each user can SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE
based on their role, department, and security level
Target sectors: Finance, insurance, healthcare, energy, and government
Multitenant databases
Ensuring tenants can only access their own rows of data in a shared database, with enforcement logic
in the database rather than in the app tier
For example: multitenant shards with elastic database tools in SQL Database
Reporting, analytics, and data warehousing
Different users access same database through various reporting tools, and work with different
subsets of data based on their identity/role
Security
Dynamic data masking
Prevent the abuse of sensitive
data by hiding it from users
Table.CreditCardNo

protection
Agility and
transparency
Data is masked on the fly, with
underlying data in the database
remaining intact. Transparent to
the application and applied
according to user privilege
Limit access to sensitive data by defining policies to obfuscate specific database fields, without
affecting the integrity of the database.
Security
How it works
Table.CreditCardNo
Limit sensitive data exposure by
obfuscating it to non-privileged users
On-the-fly obfuscation of data in query results
Policy-driven on the table and column
Multiple masking functions available for various sensitive data categories
Flexibility to define a set of privileged logins for un-masked data access
By default, database owner is unmasked

New hardware pushes boundaries
Very high transaction rates have caused problems when coupled with
fast hardware (i.e. PCIe flash storage)
The entire pipeline has been reworked end to end
Result is much lower CPU consumption, and much better performance
Performance bar: comparison to the performance of a standalone server
Availability
Distributed Transaction Coordinator (DTC) support
Previously, any distributed transactions touching a database in
an availability group are not allowed
Many customers run unsupported, at risk to their data and reputation
Many enterprise applications need cross-database transactions
Fully supported in SQL Server 2016
Joint effort with Windows
Requires specific patch in order to work cleanly
Other requirements:
• Availability groups must be running on Windows Server 2016 Technical Preview 2
• Availability groups must be created with the CREATE AVAILABILITY GROUP command and the WITH
DTC_SUPPORT = PER_DB clause. You cannot currently alter an existing availability group
• Learn more: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms366279.aspx
Availability
Database-level failover trigger
Previously, Availability Groups only monitor the health of the instance
A database can be offline or corrupt, but will not trigger a failover as long as the instance itself is
healthy
SQL Server 2016: option to also monitor the health of the databases in the
Availability Group
Databases going offline trigger a change in the health status
Availability
Domain-independent Availability Groups
New feature in Windows Server 2016
Environments supported:
Cross domains (with trust)
Cross domains (no trust)
No domain at all
Cluster management via PowerShell only

over SQL Server data by using T-SQL
constructs
DBA can manage resource, secure, and
govern R runtime execution in SQL Server
Advanced analytics
R script usage from SQL Server
Original R script:
Calling R script from SQL Server:
IrisPredict <- function(data, model){
library(e1071)
predicted_species <- predict(model, data)
return(predicted_species)
}
/* Input table schema */
create table Iris_Data (name varchar(100), length int, width int);
/* Model table schema */
create table my_iris_model (model varbinary(max));
library(RODBC)
conn <- odbcConnect("MySqlAzure", uid = myUser, pwd =
myPassword);
Iris_data <-sqlFetch(conn, "Iris_Data");
Iris_model <-sqlQuery(conn, "select model from my_iris_model");
IrisPredict (Iris_data, model);
declare @iris_model varbinary(max) = (select model from
my_iris_model);
exec sp_execute_external_script
@language = 'R'
, @script = '
IrisPredict <- function(data, model){
library(e1071)
predicted_species <- predict(model, data)
return(predicted_species)
}
IrisPredict(input_data_1, model);
'
, @parallel = default
, @input_data_1 = N'select * from Iris_Data'
, @params = N'@model varbinary(max)'
, @model = @iris_model
with result sets ((name varchar(100), length int, width int
, species varchar(30)));
The values highlighted in yellow are the SQL queries embedded in the original R script
The values highlighted in aqua are the R variables that bind to SQL variables by name
