NetBackup IT Analytics data security at rest

NetBackup IT Analytics users who want to ensure their NetBackup IT Analytics data stored in Oracle Database is encrypted at rest can explore Oracle feature Transparent Data Encryption (TDE). TDE is part of the Oracle Advanced Security. It is available as an additional licensed option for the Oracle Database Enterprise Edition.

TDE is transparent to business applications and does not require application changes. Encryption and decryption occur at the database storage level, with no impact to the SQL interface that applications use (neither inbound SQL statements, nor outbound SQL query results).

Oracle uses TDE to encrypt data at rest. In the event of storage media of Oracle Database data file being stolen, TDE helps protect the data stored on the media.
