Micro-segmentation with pgcli

Micro-segmentation with pgcli is a direct way to control access to your PostgreSQL data at a granular level. Instead of broad database permissions, each segment of data gets its own security boundary. You decide exactly who touches what, down to specific rows, columns, or queries.

pgcli adds speed and clarity to this process. Its auto-completion and syntax highlighting make defining and testing micro-segmentation rules faster. You can connect to your database, define logical boundaries, and verify them in seconds. When combined with PostgreSQL’s role-based access control and row-level security, you get a precise enforcement model that scales.

Micro-segmentation reduces attack surfaces. Fewer people have access to sensitive data, and every permission is explicit. This control is essential when handling regulated information or high-value datasets. pgcli is the tool that keeps configuration efficient while providing instant feedback.

The workflow is straightforward. Connect pgcli to your instance. Create roles for each group or service. Implement row-level security policies with CREATE POLICY. Test queries under these roles directly in pgcli. Iterate until every segment is locked down to its intended scope.

For teams deploying at speed, micro-segmentation means problems are contained before they spread. The right data is accessible to the right process, and nothing else. With pgcli, you can move from design to enforcement without losing time to clumsy interfaces or unclear outputs.
