Why Go Beyond Native PostgreSQL Database Security
- PostgreSQL delivers robust, reliable native security features, yet modern threat landscapes and regulatory demands often require additional protections beyond built-in encryption.
- Advanced encryption and centralized key management complement PostgreSQL’s native capabilities, helping organizations meet compliance, performance, and scalability requirements.

Complex Administration
- Managing keys across databases increases cost and risk
- Manual processes heighten exposure to insider threats
Compliance Gaps
- Falls short on auditability and regulatory coverage
Weak Key Management
- Native options don’t integrate with enterprise key management tools, leading to decentralized keys and higher security risks
