# How do you add data security to AWS RDS Postgres?

*Domain Solution · AWS RDS Postgres*

CipherStash encrypts sensitive fields at the value level on AWS RDS Postgres, so a breach yields ciphertext with no usable key. Every encrypted value carries a decryption policy enforced at decryption time, after the query and after the API response. Attackers with stolen application credentials decrypt nothing.

## Who's asking
