You’ve deployed PostgreSQL – but have you made it secure?

We'll help you legitimize your decision with top technical and organisational tips

Webcast PostgreSQL is a fine choice of RDBMS to help you manage your database. Free and open-source, it’s been a tried and true option for nearly 25 years, handling any size and shape of workload you can throw at it, while opening up your organisation’s options into open source working. Letting you migrate away from costly, slow or inflexible legacy databases, shift into the cloud, and build new applications in quicker and more agile ways, PostgreSQL is versatile across any kind of cloud configuration, and all sorts of containers.

But while its usefulness is unarguable, adopting PostgreSQL to manage your database also means you need to meet a certain security promise, which can often spell the downfall for an open source installation if it’s not a properly-managed process.

In a world where security scares are becoming more common and more complex, it’s extremely important to make sure you have your ducks in a row before you begin, and make sure PostgreSQL is screwed down from the very start.

This is what we’ll be thinking about in an upcoming webcast. Taking the venerable PostgreSQL as our open-source RDBMS of choice, we’ll be thinking about best practice to successfully manage risk when opening up your relational databases to a more agile future.

Successfully locking it down requires a number of approaches, ranging from doing the technical legwork all the way to stimulating your organisation’s culture to help the process along.

On 11 November 2020 at 3pm GMT, The Register’s Tim Philips will be joined by Marc Linster from PostgreSQL experts EDB to pass on the wisdom Marc's acquired in working with organisations large and small to successfully deliver open-source RDBMS.

Tim and Marc will look closely into how DBAs and dev teams can better collaborate to make the dream happen, how standardisation and automation of functions can improve secure processes, how a good balance of migration and new deployments can help the cause, and how a spot of evangelising the project across the organisation can’t hurt, either.
