Chris,

  I'm far from an expert but until more knowledgeable folks respond I'll
offer a couple of quick suggestins. First, in your postgres data/ directory
modify pg_hba.conf. Specifying hostssl and an appropriate authentication method
will help. Second, partition your users into postgres role specifying what
each role can access and do.

  The postgresql-9.6-US.pdf manual has all the details.

HTH,

Rich

Another thing to consider is DO NOT create your tables in the public schema.
Instead, create a separate schema, then only grant access to that schema and tables
to users that are authorized to access them.
