Database Firewall

The most impressive feature of MySQL security is the Database Firewall. The firewall works with a fairly simple process. You record the queries in a certain database system for a certain time-frame and then add the queries to a white-list. After this period, the firewall and the system only allows these queries and rejects all others. This means the spreadsheet Controllers is less a threat to data leakages. Since They only allow them to get the data they need and not the whole schema. (It is my personal opinion this connecting Excel to a database via JDBC is fundamentally wrong).

Via the database firewall you limit the queries executed on the system to the legitimated list and avoid SQL injection. Technical background about the MySQL Database Firewall was available in this excellent blog by Tony Darnell.
