  You can configure IP whitelists to allow only the specified instances to access resources. You can also use VPCs to implement advanced network access control.

  
  

  Attack Detection and Prevention

  Anti-DDoS is automatically enabled for public addresses to ensure business continuity. Links are encrypted through SSL to prevent man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks. You can enable TDE to automatically encrypt data that has been saved to disks. The advanced security mode can protect your databases against SQL injections.

  
  

  Security Event Auditing

• 

  Multiple Deployment Architectures

  Active/Standby Architecture

  All RDS instances apply the active/standby architecture. Two instances running on different servers can automatically synchronize data with each other. When the active instance is unavailable, the system automatically switches the database connection to the standby instance.

  
  

  Same City Disaster Recovery

  You can deploy active and standby instances in different zones with independent power supplies and networks. This improves the availability of data.
