Data in Transit Security

Transport (in-transit) encryption is an effective and widely used data-security solution. By encrypting data during transmission, the data is transformed into a form unreadable to anyone without access rights, protecting it from unauthorized access as it travels over the network. For Object Storage, transport encryption is usually done using HTTPS — a security protocol based on HTTP that uses TLS/SSL encryption to protect data in transit.

Some benefits of using transport encryption to secure data on DataSync:

• Protects data from unauthorized access: transport encryption protects data from unauthorized access during transmission over the network, reducing the risk of data breaches.

• Strengthens data integrity: it helps ensure data is not changed or modified during transmission, protecting it from forgery or alteration.

• Helps meet regulatory requirements: many regulations require encryption to protect sensitive data. Using transport encryption helps businesses meet these requirements.
