Workspace SevOne
Created by Guest
Created on Oct 22, 2025

Request to enhance SevOne software to enforce authorized access controls and FIPS 140-2 cryptography for MariaDB PKI private keys.

Improving access control over MariaDB’s PKI private keys strengthens the overall security posture of the SevOne platform, reducing the risk of unauthorized access and potential impersonation attacks. This enhancement would benefit any customer operating in high-security environments. The solution could involve configuration guidance or software changes to ensure private keys are stored securely, with access restricted to authorized users only. This includes verifying file permissions, ownership, and ensuring keys are protected using FIPS 140-2 validated cryptographic modules.
