Encrypting the SQL Database

Products

• Carbon Black App Control (formerly Cb Protection)

Issue/Introduction

Does App Control support encrypting the SQL database?

Environment

• App Control Server: All Supported Versions
• Microsoft SQL Server: All Supported Versions

Resolution

The App Control database works with Transparent Data Encryption TDE using AES 256. However; a direct comparison of the Server's performance while encrypted vs unencrypted has not been measured, and cannot be guaranteed.
