Database encryption is growing in importance as sensitive data spreads across diverse on-premises and cloud systems. The paper explains that application, database and file-level encryption each offer different balances of security and deployment effort, illustrated by the layered diagram on page 4. The CipherTrust Platform provides unified protection through discovery, column-level and file-level encryption, tokenization and application-level controls, supported by centralized key management shown in the overview table on page 8. This consolidated approach simplifies compliance, reduces risk and secures structured and unstructured data across SQL, NoSQL and hybrid environments.
