Secure Open Source Software
Ready to Expand Postgres to More Sensitive Data? Prove It’s Secure Enough First. The most common thing that stalls a Postgres land-and-expand effort isn’t the database — it’s the security review that has to happen before a team is allowed to put more sensitive workloads on it. This downloadable use case gives that review a head start: it covers EDB’s hardened Postgres distributions (100% of the codebase reviewed under secure design principles, comprehensive testing, and verification), transparent data encryption, role-based access control down to specific rows, data redaction, SQL-injection protection, audit logging, and a software bill of materials covering over 50 signed repositories across 10 Postgres extensions. It closes with a detailed FAQ answering the exact questions a security or compliance reviewer will ask — what “hardened” actually means, how TDE and RBAC work, what’s in an SBOM, and where to find EDB’s compliance documentation. This is the asset for a Postgres-adopting account whose next expansion is being held up by a security sign-off, not a technical limitation — give it directly to whoever owns that sign-off.
