Summary
In this chapter, we looked at several aspects of security, including authentication, authorization, encryption, disaster recovery, auditing, and network security. Since a given CockroachDB infrastructure can be spread across on-premises environments and various private and public cloud providers, it's important to ensure maximum security and be prepared to quickly recover in case things go wrong. Hackers and ransomware attacks are increasing every day, so being educated about security and constantly improving our security posture is the only way to prevent attacks.
In the next chapter, we will discuss debugging various performance-related issues in CockroachDB.
