| # Securing n8n | |
| Securing your n8n instance can take several forms. | |
| At a high level, you can: | |
| * Conduct a [security audit](/hosting/securing/security-audit.md) to identify security risks. | |
| * [Set up SSL](/hosting/securing/set-up-ssl.md) to enforce secure connections. | |
| * [Set up Single Sign-On](/hosting/securing/set-up-sso.md) for user account management. | |
| * Use [two-factor authentication (2FA)](/user-management/two-factor-auth.md) for your users. | |
| More granularly, consider blocking or opting out of features or data collection you don't want: | |
| * [Disable the public API](/hosting/securing/disable-public-api.md) if you aren't using it. | |
| * [Opt out of data collection](/hosting/securing/telemetry-opt-out.md) of the anonymous data n8n collects automatically. | |
| * [Block certain nodes](/hosting/securing/blocking-nodes.md) from being available to your users. |
