Writing a secure ADO.NET application involves more than avoiding common coding pitfalls. An application that accesses data has many potential points of failure that an attacker can exploit to retrieve, manipulate or destroy sensitive data. It is important to understand all aspects of security, from the process of threat modeling during the design phase of your application, to its eventual deployment and continuing through its ongoing maintenance.
