[Verse 1]
Server rooms humming with secrets to guard
Four pillars standing like digital guards
Authentication first, who gets through the door
Least privilege whispers "give nothing more"
DBA crowned with administrative might
Application users get limited sight
Audit watchers need their separate key
Role separation sets the data free
[Chorus]
Auth and Audit, Encrypt and Validate
Four database shields that never break
TDE spinning, SQL injection blocked
Backup encrypted, patches never stopped
Auth and Audit, Encrypt and Validate
STIG compliance seals our data's fate
[Verse 2]
Auditing cameras watch every move
DDL changes need nothing to prove
DML actions logged in crystal detail
Privileged commands leave permanent trail
Audit logs locked in tamper-proof vaults
Tracking the who, what, when without faults
Every schema change, every grant revoked
History written, never to be cloaked
[Chorus]
Auth and Audit, Encrypt and Validate
Four database shields that never break
TDE spinning, SQL injection blocked
Backup encrypted, patches never stopped
Auth and Audit, Encrypt and Validate
STIG compliance seals our data's fate
[Bridge]
Transparent encryption wraps data tight
Transit channels tunnel through secured sight
Input validation scrubs malicious code
Parameterized queries lighten the load
Backup files sleeping in encrypted dreams
Restoration tested, rehearsed routines
Patch management keeps versions current and clean
Supported software, security pristine
[Verse 3]
SQL injection prowls at the gates
Database layer validates and waits
Stored procedures filter suspicious strings
Prepared statements clip malicious wings
Recovery procedures tested monthly
Encrypted backups stored so soundly
Version control keeps patches flowing
Security updates, always growing
[Chorus]
Auth and Audit, Encrypt and Validate
Four database shields that never break
TDE spinning, SQL injection blocked
Backup encrypted, patches never stopped
Auth and Audit, Encrypt and Validate
STIG compliance seals our data's fate
[Outro]
Four foundations holding data secure
DISA standards tested, tried and pure
Authentication, auditing sight
Encryption strong, validation tight
