Enhancing the Default MongoDB Security

 May 30, 2019
 Percona Live Open Source Database Conference 2019
  Igor Donchovski

In this day and age, maintaining privacy throughout our electronic communications is absolutely necessary. Creating user accounts, and not exposing your MongoDB environment to the wider internet, are basic concepts that have been missed in the past. Once that has been addressed, individuals and organizations interested in becoming PCI compliant must turn to securing their data through encryption. With MongoDB, we have two options for encryption: at rest (only available as an enterprise feature with MongoDB) and transport encryption.

In this session, we will review
- MongoDB default security
- Additional layers of security
- Audit and Log reduction
- Encryption and why it's important
- Step by step for encryption at rest and in transit
- Percona for MongoDB security features
