What is SQL Injection and How should we Prevent it?

Description

The SQL injection attack involves manipulating backend databases with malicious SQL code in order to gain access to information that wasn’t meant to be displayed. This information includes sensitive company data, user lists, and private customer information. A successful SQL injection can have a far-reaching impact on a business. In some cases, an attacker may gain administrative rights to a database if they successfully view user lists, delete entire tables, or gain access to entire databases. These things are highly detrimental to a company. If personal information, such as phone numbers, addresses, and credit card numbers, is stolen, it can result in the loss of customer trust. SQLi can be used to attack any SQL database, but websites tend to be the most common targets.
