    <p>The first thing to do is <strong>build a threat model</strong>. Only once you understand:</p> <ul> <li>what are the resources being protected?</li> <li>what are the vulnerabilities of those resources that expose them to attack?</li> <li>what are the motivations of attackers?</li> <li>what threats do the attackers pose?</li> </ul> <p>can you reasonably start to craft a solution. For example, if the resource is my television, the vulnerability is an open window, the attackers have financial gain as a motive, and the threat they pose is the theft of my television, then I can start to craft a solution. </p> <p>Consider the multi-pronged solution that becomes apparent once you have a list of resources, vulnerabilities, motivations and threats. I can:</p> <ul> <li>Make the vulnerability harder to exploit: close and lock the window, get an alarm, get unbreakable glass</li> <li>Make the resource less valuable to the attacker, thereby demotivating them: buy a cheaper, heavier television </li> <li>Make the loss of the resource less costly to me: buy insurance</li> <li>And so on.</li> </ul> <p>Notice that a good solution has <strong>defense in depth</strong>. Don't just stop there. Look for more vulnerabilities. Look for more ways to demotivate attackers. Look for more ways to lower the cost of a successful attack. But all of this depends on having an accurate threat model, so do that first.</p> <p>Here's some resources to get you started:</p> <p><a href="http://www.microsoft.com/security/sdl/getstarted/threatmodeling.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.microsoft.com/security/sdl/getstarted/threatmodeling.aspx</a></p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
