Hot Standby Security

Definitions

1. The security considerations around hot-standby systems that remain synchronized and ready to take over immediately if the primary system fails. Because standby systems often hold live data and privileged connectivity, they must be secured and monitored as seriously as active systems.

   In plain English: Security for backup systems that stay ready to take over instantly.

   Example: "The database failover worked, but hot standby security had been overlooked and the replica exposed older admin credentials."
