Disallowing Specific Commands
Redis provides the ability to disallow certain commands for security reasons. This is especially useful when you want to restrict clients from executing commands that can potentially harm the Redis server or the data it contains. The rename-command configuration option allows you to rename or disable specific commands.
For example, to disable the FLUSHDB and FLUSHALL commands, you can add the following to your Redis configuration file:
rename-command FLUSHDB “”rename-command FLUSHALL “”
Complete tutorial on security in Redis
Redis is an open-source, in-memory data structure store that can be used as a database, cache, and message broker. While Redis is known for its speed and simplicity, security is a critical aspect when using it in production environments. As it is not a good practice to expose Redis to the internet directly Here, are some key aspects of Redis security, including access control, authentication, encryption, and general best practices.

Syntax:
The general syntax for Redis commands is:
COMMAND [key] [argument1] [argument2] … [argumentN]
- COMMAND: The Redis command to execute.
