    Janelle:

    I don't know what security features you are already aware of, so here are a few that I can think of:

    • Encrypted columns
    • Encryption at rest for dbspaces
    • Encrypted client connections with SSL 
    • Option to use OpenSSL instead of IBM's GSKit implementation which sometimes lags OpenSSL
    • Encrypted archives
    • Expanded Auditing options
    • Encrypted traffic between the primary and secondary servers
    • Dedicated connection type reserved for traffic between the primary and secondary servers
    • Label based access coding down to the column level.

    Note that there are always "What's New" sections in the online manuals that describe new features release by release for each major version's manuals.
