Description: Hardened PostgreSQL refers to a version of PostgreSQL that has been secured against common vulnerabilities. This hardening involves implementing various security measures aimed at protecting the database from attacks and unauthorized access. Key features of Hardened PostgreSQL include stricter user permission configurations, disabling unnecessary functions that could be exploited, and regularly applying security patches. Additionally, practices such as encrypting data at rest and in transit, as well as auditing access and changes to the database, can be implemented. This proactive approach to security is essential for organizations handling sensitive information and seeking to comply with data protection regulations. Hardened PostgreSQL not only enhances the security of the database but also contributes to user and client trust in the integrity of the managed information.
