Securing Elasticsearch
1. Enabling Security Features
Enable security features to protect your data:
- TLS/SSL: Encrypt communication between nodes and clients.
- Authentication and Authorization: Configure user roles and access controls.
2. Configuring Firewalls
Restrict access to Elasticsearch ports using firewalls and security groups. Only allow trusted IP addresses to communicate with your cluster.
