What is Data Encryption?
Data encryption is the process of encoding a message or file so that it can only be read by certain people. Using an algorithm, data is translated into another form, or code, so that only those with access to a decryption key or password are able to read it. Anyone attempting to access the information without permission will see scrambled or unreadable text.
Data is a critical asset, and if it is not properly managed & secured, it becomes a liability. The purpose of data encryption is to protect and deter malicious or negligent parties from accessing sensitive data.

Native SQL Server backups are essentially a dump of data stored in SQL Server files. This is an inefficient and insecure way of storing backup data, as it is stored unencrypted, unprotected, and uncompressed.
Creating compressed and encrypted backups of your SQL Server databases, allows you to make smaller, safer, faster database backups. Encrypting the backup file means that only people with the designated password can access that backup file, making it much less vulnerable.
SQL Backup runs on the server hosting your SQL Server databases and uses the SQL Server Virtual Device Interface (VDI). It will compress and encrypt data as it is being backed up. SQL Backup uses 256-bit AES (Rijndael) encryption to secure your backup files from unauthorised access.
Specific features include:
Standards Compliance
Encrypting your files supports industry best practices for hardening your critical data and protecting it against attack. It protects executables from infection by worms/viruses, encrypts sensitive information contained in log files, and secure databases by encrypting the underlying database files. Clients utilising this solution can encrypt pages, images, and scripts to protect web sites from the threat of defacement. Security Administrators may optionally group sensitive files into secure folders, freeing themselves from managing the individual files.
