Problem

How do you approach database security, SQL optimization, and preventing injection attacks in distributed systems?

Discuss how you would protect sensitive data, enforce least-privilege access, optimize slow queries across services and replicas, and prevent injection through application and database controls. Explain how you would validate the design, monitor abuse and performance regressions, and respond to a suspected injection incident.
