Advanced security features per distribution
Most of the following features that are available with your Postgres distribution come out of the box and don't require an additional installation. Other features require an additional configuration from your side.
For example, to benefit from transparent data encryption, you need to initialize your database cluster with the encryption flag. To benefit from statement audit logging, you have to install pgAudit or EDB Audit.
