# Achieving Data Security for Kafka

Kafka moves your most sensitive data—financial transactions, healthcare records, customer PII. Without proper security, that data is exposed before it reaches its destination.

## What's Covered

- **Encryption:** In transit, at rest, and at the field level
- **Access control:** RBAC policies that scale
- **Audit logging:** Who accessed what, when
- **Chaos testing:** Verify resilience under pressure

## Why Kafka's Built-in Tools Aren't Enough

Kafka provides TLS and ACLs. That's not security—it's a starting point. This guide shows what else you need.

## Who This Is For

Security engineers, compliance officers, and platform teams at regulated industries—financial services, healthcare, and beyond.
