What you will learn

RU330 teaches you everything you need to know about Redis Security. The course access-control, data encryption, and secure deployment practices.

Why this matters

Database security is more than important than ever. For a long time, Redis had only the most basis security features. But now, a lot of work is being done to improve the security of Redis. For example, Redis 6 will be released soon, and with this release comes support for SSL and ACLs. Redis Enterprise will support all of these features, plus quite a few more.
