Security Best Practices Revisited

According to the just released 2016 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report , 2015 saw 2,260 confirmed data breaches as well as over 100,000 reported security incidents. These are the highest numbers since the report began analyzing such incidents back in 2008. The report does a fantastic job of describing the types of attacks organizations should be prepared to face in the coming year. While the sophistication level of each threat varies, the report points out that 63% of confirmed data breaches were very simple - they used weak, default, or stolen passwords. This is a strong reminder that even basic defenses are still lacking in many organizations. At MongoDB, we take security very seriously. Our team is constantly working to deliver a world class database experience that addresses today’s ever-evolving security requirements. As a reminder, here are some resources MongoDB customers can use to help ensure the security of their systems: The most popular installer for MongoDB (RPM) limits network access to localhost by default. Security is addressed in detail in our Security Manual . The Security Checklist discusses limiting network exposure. Note that the method to do this will vary significantly depending on where the service is hosted (AWS, Azure, locally, etc). MongoDB Atlas security features include TLS/SSL encryption, authentication, and authorization via SCRAM-SHA1; IP whitelists enforced with AWS Security Groups; optionally encrypted storage volumes; and the MongoDB Atlas console to manage database users. Additionally, users of MongoDB Cloud Manager can enable alerts to detect if their deployment is internet exposed. A discussion on security is provided in two parts. Part 1 covers Design and Configuration. Part II covers 10 mistakes that can compromise your database. We encourage users who have experienced a security incident for MongoDB to create a vulnerability report . If you are interested in learning more about security best practices watch our on demand webinar.

MongoDB and IONOS: Helping European Organizations in Regulated Industries Move to the Cloud

As MongoDB continues to grow as a company, we remain focused on understanding our customers’ unique needs based on their industry and region, among other factors. With this in mind, we are excited to partner with German cloud provider IONOS to help European organizations in regulated industries harness the power of their data to build first-rate applications that also align with security, compliance, and sovereignty requirements. "We want to offer our customers the opportunity to use best-in-class solutions,” said IONOS chief customer officer Martin Endreß about MongoDB becoming part of IONOS’s database-as-a-service offering. “With MongoDB, we are now integrating with the global leader in the NoSQL segment,” he said. “In addition, our companies share fundamental values such as a commitment to full data portability and a rejection of vendor lock-in." With more than 90K servers across 16 data centers, IONOS has a strong footprint in the public sector and other industries where cloud usage is constrained by compliance or data sovereignty needs. Now IONOS customers can drive application innovation in the cloud using MongoDB’s developer data platform while keeping control of their data, aligning with the strongest initiatives in digital sovereignty. The popularity and promise of cloud computing has led an ever-increasing number of businesses to shift their infrastructures and software, including databases, to managed services, and highly regulated industries are no different. Compliance, security, and innovation need not be at odds with each other. Working together, MongoDB and IONOS provide developers with a platform that lets them build, deploy, and run applications securely. MongoDB and IONOS are working closely to develop this new partnership — which is expected to be on offer in fall 2022 — and support customers during implementation. Both Enterprise Advanced and Community versions of MongoDB will be available with IONOS. Learn more about finding a MongoDB partner or becoming one.
