ave you ever questioned how secure your database is? In this brief overview, we break down how MongoDB strongly secures your data throughout its entire lifecycle—whether at rest, in use, or in transit. We cover the four core mechanisms that keep your data safe: Authentication: Verifying user identity through factors like X.509 certificates, Kerberos, and AWS authentication. Authorization: Defining the scope of permitted actions and resources a user can access. Auditing: Continuous monitoring of database activities to detect unauthorized access attempts. Encryption: Converting data into unreadable ciphertext using cryptographic keys to protect data at all times.
