Qlik Sense Hardening

ashwin — Sat, 16 Nov 2024 05:22:36 GMT

Hi All,

I could not find any info on hardening qlik Sense server, except maybe a video on how to harden qlik in AWS.

Is there a document or a checklist similar to a CIS benchmark that I can use?

Thanks in advance.

Hi LeviTurner,

Thankyou for this. It gives a good overview of what needs to be taken care.

One question that comes to mind.

- Qlik Sense server installs PostgreSQL as default DB. Is that a hardened setup ?

RE PostgreSQL, it's a fairly default setup. The obvious hardening steps there would be pure PostgreSQL configs, but: Database encryption and reviewing the IPs allowed to connect in pg_hba.conf.
