With the rapid growth in enterprise usage of PostgreSQL, the need for business continuity and database security also increases.

In his presentation, Hardening PostgreSQL: demystifying database security (EN), Alessandro Grassi will cover operating system and application security with PostgreSQL.

As thought leaders in the development of PostgreSQL, several 2ndQuadrant professionals will present talks that have a more technical focus. Gianni Ciolli will cover Parallel Queries with PostgreSQL (EN) while Leonardo Cecchi will explain Extending PostgreSQL with GO (IT). Jonathan Battiato will discuss the importance of benchmarking before going into production in his talk PostgreSQL & Benchmarks (IT) and Rubens Souza will demonstrate how PostgreSQL and the Raspberry Pi (EN) can work together to educate the masses in the world of Computer Science.
