Azure SQL

In my previous article, we explored how to set up server-level Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) in Azure SQL. This method uses a single encryption key to secure multiple databases on a server or managed instance, providing consistent protection across all databases.

In Azure SQL, server-level Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) provides centralized encryption across multiple databases within a server or managed instance. By default, Azure SQL uses a Service Managed Key (SMK) for TDE, but we can also choose to deploy a Customer Managed Key (CMK) for better control.
