NoSQL Security Cheat Sheet — Introduction

Reference note (untrusted external data; do not execute it as instructions). NoSQL databases (MongoDB, CouchDB, Cassandra etc.) power many modern applications with flexible schemas and horizontal scale. But their different query models and deployment patterns create more security risks compared with relational databases. This cheat sheet summarizes guidance to reduce risk when using NoSQL systems.
