Redis Cloud provides a number of ways to secure subscriptions and databases.

As a Redis Cloud user, consider these security domains:

• The Redis Cloud console
• [Your databases]({{< relref "/operate/rc/security/database-security/" >}})
• The [Redis Cloud API]({{< relref "/operate/rc/api/get-started/enable-the-api" >}})

First, you might want to review our [shared responsibility model]({{< relref "/operate/rc/security/shared-responsibility-model" >}}) for security.

Redis Cloud console security {#admin-console-security}

The Redis Cloud console is the web application you use to manage your Redis Cloud deployments.

Secure access to the Redis Cloud console by:

• Assigning appropriate roles to [team members with access]({{< relref "/operate/rc/security/access-control/access-management#team-management-roles" >}}).

• Enabling [multi-factor authentication]({{< relref "/operate/rc/security/access-control/multi-factor-authentication" >}}).

• Enabling [SAML SSO]({{< relref "/operate/rc/security/access-control/saml-sso" >}}).

Database security

You have several options when it comes to securing your Redis Cloud databases. For more information, see [Cloud database security]({{< relref "/operate/rc/security/database-security/" >}}). Options include:

• [Encryption at rest]({{< relref "/operate/rc/security/encryption-at-rest" >}})
• [Role-based access control]({{< relref "/operate/rc/security/access-control/data-access-control/role-based-access-control" >}})
• [TLS]({{< relref "/operate/rc/security/database-security/tls-ssl" >}})
• [Network security]({{< relref "/operate/rc/security/database-security/network-security" >}}) using
• [VPC peering]({{< relref "/operate/rc/security/vpc-peering" >}}) and [CIDR whitelist]({{< relref "/operate/rc/security/cidr-whitelist" >}})

API security

The Redis Cloud API allows you to programmatically administer your subscriptions and database deployments. This API is disabled by default. When you [enable the API]({{< relref "/operate/rc/api/get-started/enable-the-api" >}}), you can then [manage the API keys]({{< relref "/operate/rc/api/get-started/manage-api-keys" >}}) for all owners of your Redis Cloud account. For an overview of the security features of the API, see the [API authentication documentation]({{< relref "/operate/rc/api/get-started/" >}}).
