I shared this with my students this week and I thought it would be good to pass along to all of you.

UC Berkeley has a page of [database hardening best practices](https://security.berkeley.edu/resources/best-practices-how-articles/system-application-security/database-hardening-best-practices). Most of these are pretty easy to accomplish, and it’s an easy read.

Very comprehensive checklist – usable for a lot more than just database servers.
