Note

Databases hosted on MongoDB Atlas are secure by default. Atlas encrypts your data, both in-transit and at-rest, and makes it easy to control access with role-based user management. Set up a free cluster now.

MongoDB provides various features, such as authentication, access control, encryption, to secure your MongoDB deployments. Some key security features include:

Authentication	Authorization	TLS/SSL	Enterprise Only
