Secure PostgreSQL 11 Deployments

PostgreSQL 11 was released on October 18, 2018, which means everyone is currently in the process upgrading to the new major version (right? ;-)

Well, even if you're not immediately moving to PostgreSQL 11, you may be looking to deploy it into a production environment, and chances are, you probably have some security requirements as well.

Magnus Hagander, a longtime PostgreSQL Major Contributor, Core Team member, and past NYCPUG speaker, would like to share with us on how to securely deploy PostgreSQL and cover some of the new security features available in PostgreSQL 11 as well. Some topics will include:

• Securing the PostgreSQL infrastructure and runtime environment
• Securing the channel between client and server using SSL, including an overview of the threats and how to secure against them
• Understanding how to secure the login process

and more.

Join us on Tuesday, November 13, 2018 at 6:30pm at the offices of Goldman Sachs at 200 West St for another fun and informative NYCPUG event!
