Transparent Data Encryption (TDE)
Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) is a security feature designed to encrypt data at rest, specifically the storage of database files, to prevent unauthorized access. Introduced in Microsoft SQL Server 2008, TDE operates by encrypting the database's files directly, without requiring changes to the application. This process is seamless, as the encryption and decryption are automatically handled by the database engine during data access. TDE is crucial for compliance with various regulatory requirements, offering an essential layer of security by ensuring that data is encrypted within the database's storage and associated backup files, thus protecting against the risk of data theft or exposure from physical media.
