Security and RBAC
Security measures protect data from unauthorized access and breaches, while RBAC ensures appropriate access levels based on roles. Here are key security and RBAC strategies to protect data integrity and privacy:
- Data encryption and secure storage: Encrypting data at rest and in transit is crucial for securing an application. Encryption at rest protects data from unauthorized access, while encryption in transit secures data as it moves between users and the application. MongoDB Atlas offers built-in integration with AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) for encryption at rest and TLS/SSL out of the box for data in transit.
- Access controls and user authentication: RBAC manages permissions, ensuring that users access only necessary data and functionalities. In the case of MDN, separate roles, such as editors and readers, require various levels of access. Different database users on MongoDB can be set up with distinct levels of permissions following the principle...
