Transparent Data Encryption

Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) is a security feature that automatically encrypts data stored in a database, protecting it from unauthorized access. It works seamlessly, ensuring that data is encrypted when saved and decrypted when accessed, without requiring changes to how users or applications interact with the database. This means sensitive information remains secure at rest—in storage—while still being readily available for authorized use, providing a strong layer of security with minimal impact on system performance or usability.
