Summary
In this chapter, you learned about the various security mechanisms that MongoDB offers. This includes application security, which protects access to your application; data security, which protects the data itself throughout its life cycle; and other additional security mechanisms that can be applied to a self-managed MongoDB deployment. With the knowledge of all these mechanisms, you can choose the proper combination of security measures to ensure that your application has the protection that it needs.
In the next chapter, we dive into MongoDB Atlas, the cloud platform for modern database management. You’ll learn how to set up organizations, projects, and clusters, interact with Atlas using UI, CLI, and APIs, and implement secure access controls. The chapter also explores scaling strategies, automation tools, and data visualization with Charts and Power BI.
