Cloud Data Protection

Data encryption should protect data on all devices and on every type of storage, it should also protect your data in the cloud too. The Cloud Encryption should be kept transparent so that it’s easy to use. And you keep control of the encryption keys. You don’t need to rely on the security architecture of the cloud storage provider.

MS SQL Server Encryption

Microsoft SQL Server Encryption using TDE protects data at rest inside (meaning data and log files) of the database through native encryption functions within the database. MS SQL supports SQL Server 2008 and 2012. TDE is referred to as "transparent" since for some implementations, it can secure the data without requiring application changes to take advantage of the database encryption functionality

Oracle Database Encryption

Oracle Database Encryption using TDE provides data protection for data at rest inside (i.e., data and log files) of the Oracle database through native encryption functions within the database. TDE is referred to as "transparent" since for some implementations, it can secure the data without requiring application changes to take advantage of the database encryption functionality
