What are some effective strategies to mitigate SQL injection attacks?

To mitigate SQL injection attacks, you can use prepared statements, parameterized queries, and stored procedures.

Can you explain how prepared statements work?

Prepared statements separate SQL code from data, preventing attackers from injecting malicious SQL.

Are there any specific libraries or frameworks that help with this?

Yes, many frameworks like PDO in PHP, Entity Framework in .NET, and Hibernate in Java support prepared statements.

What other security measures should I consider?

In addition to prepared statements, consider input validation, using ORM tools, and implementing web application firewalls.
