Internal Authentication Manages login IDs and passwords inside the database

Object Permission Management Controls who has access to what and who can do what in the database

Client to Node Encryption Protects data in flight to and from a database cluster

External Authentication Uses external security software packages to control security

Transparent Data Encryption Encrypts data at rest

Data Auditing Provides trail of who did and looked at what/when
