By default, data encryption is enabled to ensure data security on Application level on Detection servers. This can be turned off from the Advanced Settings page for each Detection server. 
To disable database encryption: 

  1. Open Enforce Console 
  2. Go to: System >  Servers and Detectors > Overview > Server / Detector Detail - Advanced Settings
  3. Scroll down to the attribute field, IncidentWriter.ShouldEncryptContent, and type false to disable database encryption (typing true enables database encryption). 
  4. Disable database encryption for each Detection Server.
