Security architecture
Review Yugabyte Cloud's security architecture and shared responsibility model.
Yugabyte Cloud is a fully managed YugabyteDB-as-a-Service that allows you to run YugabyteDB clusters on public cloud providers such as Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and Amazon Web Services (AWS).
Yugabyte Cloud uses a shared responsibility model, where security and compliance is a shared responsibility between public cloud providers, Yugabyte, and Yugabyte Cloud customers.
The Yugabyte Cloud architecture is secure by default, and uses the following features to protect clusters and communication between clients and databases:
- encryption in transit
- encryption at rest
- limited network exposure
- authentication
- role-based access control for authorization
For information on how to configure the security features of clusters in Yugabyte Cloud, refer to Secure clusters in Yugabyte Cloud.
