Secure your Redis surface
Instances reachable without authentication, and data held in memory with no classification. We don’t connect to Redis to collect evidence for its own sake — we connect to secure it, and the compliance artefacts follow from that work.
Book a Demo[01] What This Surface Exposes
Where Redis goes wrong
Redis goes wrong by being reachable: an unauthenticated instance on the network is among the most actively hunted exposures there is.
- Instances exposed to the network without authentication, still a common and heavily scanned exposure
- Default configurations permitting dangerous commands
- Data persisted to disk without encryption
- Replication configured to untrusted destinations
- Session and token data held without retention limits
[02] What We Secure
What we watch, catch and fix on Redis
On Redis we test authentication and network exposure from outside, and classify what the cache actually holds.
- Authentication and network exposure tested from outside, since unauthenticated Redis is actively hunted
- Dangerous command configuration reviewed
- Persistence encryption checked
- Replication topology audited as a data flow
- Cached content classified, because session stores hold more than teams assume
[03] Where It Lands
Where Redis lands in your registers
Every datastore becomes an asset register entry carrying its data classification, encryption state, and retention position. Access reviews cover database roles and grants alongside application access. The risk register maps each store to the specific exposure it represents — a production replica in a development environment is a named risk against a named asset, with an owner and a date.
[04] How We Engage
On Redis specifically
On Redis, we enable authentication and close network exposure urgently where we find it. Configuration hardening and replication changes we stage with your engineers.
Platform licence
Everything you need to find and fix it yourself, with no ceiling on the depth of the answer.
- Every connected tool monitored for misconfiguration and drift, with findings mapped to the assets and risks they affect
- Remediation guidance that tells you what is wrong and exactly how to fix it — however deep or awkward the issue is. We are engineers running a security company, so the answer is the real one, not a link to vendor documentation
- Assets, access reviews, and risk register populated from the tools themselves rather than from spreadsheets
- Unlimited integrations and unlimited users, with anything missing built within two weeks
Managed service
Every tool you connect through Konfirmity comes under our care, with our team doing the work.
- Continuous misconfiguration and drift monitoring across every connected tool, watched by our analysts rather than by a dashboard waiting for you
- Incident response led by us, with containment coordinated with your team
- Remediation performed directly wherever you have granted us the authority to act — and where we cannot act, we project-manage the fix to completion rather than handing you a ticket
- Decision support on the tools themselves: where something is failing you on capability or costing more than it returns, we will tell you, and help you replace it
[05] Redis FAQs
What Redis access does Konfirmity need?
Konfirmity needs a read-only user with permission to run INFO, CONFIG GET and ACL LIST. That covers authentication state, dangerous command configuration and persistence settings without reading keys or values.
Why treat a cache as sensitive?
Because session stores hold more than teams assume. Session tokens, cached user records and queued jobs containing personal data all commonly live in Redis, which makes an unauthenticated instance a direct route to impersonating users.
