The Significance of Database Security in PostgreSQL Systems

According to IBM’s 2023 Cost of a Data Breach Report, the average cost of a data breach globally was $4.45 million
GDPR fines can reach up to €20 million or 4% of the company’s global annual revenue, whichever is higher
The Equifax breach in 2017 affected 147 million people and has cost the company over $1.4 billion

Determining breach points and hardening your database against them is the fundamental step towards securing your infrastructure and ensuring you avoid being impacted by its vulnerabilities.
