How Does RavenDB Succeed in Protecting Your Database Both in Transit and at Rest?
With cybercrime estimated to have cost the global economy over one trillion USD in 2020, database security has never been more relevant. To properly secure a database, data must be protected both in transit between server and node, and at rest on the server.
Encryption at rest protects the data stored on the server, preventing it from being viewed, stolen, or otherwise accessed by someone with malicious intent. If your disk is lost or stolen, for example, an attacker will have complete access to your data. When encrypted, however, the data will be unreadable and the attacker will see it only as random noise.
