Encrypting Data at Rest and in Motion
Encrypting data at rest and in motion refers to keeping your data safe when it is stored and when it is being transferred. Data at rest is information that’s not actively being used, stored digitally. Data in motion, on the other hand, is data moving from one place to another, either over the internet or through a private network. By using strong encryption methods, you ensure that sensitive information is protected and can’t be accessed by unauthorized parties. This helps prevent data breaches and ensures that you meet regulatory standards. The usual questions from anyone who wants to store data on a public cloud are as follows:
- How safe is my data?
- Can the employees of the cloud company access my data?
- Can any outsiders access my data?
Such concerns are usually addressed by cloud companies, such as Azure, using encryption at rest and in transit. This also happens to be the first of the example requirements...
