# SSL Audit(Postgres)

We're excited to announce the launch of our **SSL Audit** feature, the result of weeks of dedicated effort! This robust tool empowers you to secure your PostgreSQL database by identifying key SSL configuration issues, including:

1. **Expiring SSL Certificates**: Detect certificates that are nearing expiration to avoid disruptions.
2. **Self-Signed Certificates**: Check if your database is using self-signed certificates, which may not meet security best practices.
3. **SSL Configuration Audit**: Evaluate and optimize your SSL settings, including cipher configurations, for enhanced security.
4. **HBA Configuration Validation**: Verify that your `pg_hba.conf` is correctly configured, ensuring `hostssl` is used where necessary.

With this feature, safeguarding your database's SSL setup has never been easier!
