MySQL Server 5.7 Security : standalone application (1 reply)

Hello Guys,

My questions are related to the security of MYSQL server.

I have installed MYSQL Server 5.7 on Windows 7.

And on the same system there are 2 Java applications installed.

1. Java application - 1 inserts/Updates/Deletes data into MYSQL Server and sends email once process completes.

2. Java application -2 which is hosted on TOMCAT reads [Only Select] the data from MYSQL and sends emails.

Both the java applications i mentioned above are scheduled/automated and doesn't require ANY user interaction.

Could you please advise how can i secure MYSQL Server/Data given above architecture.

I know only below security features which can be implemented,

1. Firewall Restrictions
2. Create Users with required rights
3. Block MYSQL Server access from All IP Addresses expect Local Host.



Thanks,

Bhagwati
