DS130: Client-Side Field Level Encryption

In this two-day course, you’ll implement Client-Side Field Level Encryption (CSFLE) using Python and Java. Explore key CSFLE features and components, understand both explicit and implicit encryption and decryption, and dive into practical use cases and implementation strategies. This workshop is ideal for teams handling sensitive data or requiring advanced security measures.

Advanced Training (Private Only) : Client Side Field Level Encryption (DS130)

Overview

This course focuses on how to apply CSFLE (Client-Side Field Level Encryption) using MongoDB drivers and databases. During this workshop we will review the features, components and details of this security method and learn how to implement explicit encryption and decryption as well as automatic methods. This training includes different use cases and scenarios to work on with different hands-on activities. The exercises will use one of the following programming languages: Java, Go, Python, SpringBoot. Attendees will learn how to secure data in their production environment and control who can access the unencrypted data.

Intended Audience

This training is intended for developers who have a solid grounding in MongoDB through completion of MongoDB Developer Fundamental courses, have basic familiarity with MongoDB databases and are working with sensitive data requiring additional security.
