SSL Encryption:
SQLynx supports SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encryption for connections, meaning that data transmitted between the client and the database server is encrypted to prevent interception or tampering during transmission. Users need to enable the SSL encryption option when configuring the database connection and configure the corresponding SSL certificates and keys.
**
Data Encryption at Rest:**
While SQLynx itself may not directly provide data encryption capabilities within the database (this is typically handled by database management systems such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, etc.), users can implement data encryption by configuring the database management system. For example, in MySQL, the TDE (Transparent Data Encryption) feature can be used to encrypt database files. This configuration needs to be done at the database management system level, ensuring compatibility with SQLynx connections.
**
Sensitive Information Masking:**
SQLynx may also offer the functionality of sensitive information masking, where sensitive information (such as ID numbers, bank card numbers, etc.) is automatically masked in query results to prevent leakage. Users can configure masking rules within SQLynx and apply them to corresponding query results.

Access Control

User Permissions Management:
SQLynx provides detailed user permissions management functionality, allowing users to assign different permissions to different users or roles as needed. For instance, database administrators can be granted full permissions, while regular users can only access and operate authorized data sources. Through fine-grained permission control, it ensures that only authorized users can access sensitive data.

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA):
To enhance account security, SQLynx supports Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). MFA requires users to provide additional verification factors (such as SMS codes, fingerprint recognition, etc.) in addition to their usernames and passwords during login. This significantly increases account security and prevents unauthorized access.
**
Access Logs and Auditing:**
SQLynx records user access logs and operation records for subsequent auditing and tracking. Users can review access logs to understand user behaviors and promptly identify potential security risks. Additionally, the auditing feature assists users in complying with data handling regulations and meeting industry standards.
**
Risk Management and Interception:**
SQLynx supports risk management functionalities, enabling real-time interception of high-risk operations (such as deleting databases or tables). Users can also configure custom risk rules based on their requirements to ensure the security of database operations.
