# How do you stop a database breach from exposing customer data in Aurora Postgres?

*Domain Solution · Aurora Postgres*

Because CipherStash encrypts each sensitive value with a unique identity-bound key, a breach of Aurora Postgres yields ciphertext with no key attached. The data is the perimeter. Reaching the database is no longer the same as reading it.

## Who's asking
