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 at AWS re:Invent 2020

While 2020 has been a challenging year, it has also given rise to new levels of innovative collaboration and agile thinking. Where better to experience both than at AWS re:Invent 2020? At MongoDB, we’re excited to partner with AWS on this free, 3-week virtual event, providing unlimited access to hundreds of sessions led by Cloud experts. Although we’ll miss the grand, buzzing halls of the Venetian Hotel and the celebratory sounds of slot machines this year, it’s still important to approach AWS re:Invent with a focused plan. Think of this year’s event as an opportunity to curate your own perfectly tailored experience. Check out this page for details of our fresh new lineup of deep-dives, targeted jam sessions and — of course — the annual MongoDB late-night party. Here are some of the highlights. AWS Jam — "Excel isn't a database!" Imagine this: It's your first week in a new job, and the VP of sales has already given you an important data task. The good news? From the start of the year, all your current sales data has been stored in MongoDB Atlas — allowing operational and analytical workloads to run on the live data set. The not-so-good news? That wasn't always the case. For years before they switched, their database (well, ”database”) of choice was… Excel. Fortunately someone took the initiative to export that data in CSV format and store it in S3, but now the sales team needs your help to analyze that data — and they need it fast. In our “Excel isn’t a database!” Jam Session, you’ll test and upgrade your skills by connecting MongoDB Atlas Data Lake to CSV data that’s been languishing in an S3 bucket. Then you’ll run an aggregation to complete the challenge and claim points. Game on! This jam session will be available on-demand for the duration of AWS re:Invent Databases & S3: Auto-archiving Breakout Session Databases are built for fast access, but this can also make them resource-intensive. As data grows, you may want to optimize performance (or cost) by migrating old or infrequently used data into cheap object storage. But this presents its own problems: automating the archival process, ensuring data consistency during failures, and either querying two data stores separately or building a query federation system. In this talk, you’ll learn about how we approached these problems while building Online Archive and Federated Query features into MongoDB Atlas, lessons learned from the experience, and how you can do the same. MongoDB Late Nite That’s right: it’s a party! In the spirit of Vegas, MongoDB will be hosting an interactive late-night bash complete with throw-back entertainment at our virtual after-hours event.
