What are the top security measures for data in open-source database environments?
Open source doesn’t mean less secure, as some people (used to) think! However, there are still a few things to keep in mind when setting up your environment
- System hardening means looking at the bigger picture and protecting the infrastructure that runs your databases. From hardware to operating systems, make sure to secure everything related to your data.
- While it’s becoming more widespread, we still see a lot of companies that forget about access control. Define roles, verify users, and use the principle of least privilege, so the only people with access to your most sensitive data are those who actually need it.
- Don’t forget about encryption either! Combine encryption at rest with encryption in transit to make sure that data is unusable to bad actors if it is accessed.
- Finally, security is not a one-and-done deal. Conduct regular security audits to spot any vulnerabilities in your systems and make sure that best practices are being followed.
