Learn security best practices for Capella
Protect your data from attacks with auditing, encryption, and authentication.
Our security approach
Couchbase security is a team effort. It begins with top-down policies from management and extends to the development of secure products by our engineers, management of governance and compliance by our information security team, and shared responsibilities across all our business units.
Built-in security protects your modern enterprise
Verify
Role-based access controls ensure only authorized users or applications have access to data.
Enforce
Enforcement of least privilege access is applied to all credentials and secrets, ensuring strict access controls to sensitive data and actions.
Monitor
To prevent potential breaches, Capella implements a managed cloud intrusion detection system that involves 24×7 monitoring.
Modernize
Capella is built using modern DBaaS principles and secure development practices.
