What happens when a backup drive goes missing? For one regional bank, it meant the potential exposure of sensitive customer data, a full incident response effort, and regulatory scrutiny. This real-world scenario highlights a critical gap in database security—and how Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) in SQL Server can serve as a powerful safeguard.

In this webinar, we’ll break down what TDE really does to protect data at rest, including how it encrypts database files and backups without requiring application code changes. We’ll also explore where TDE fits compared to other options like Always Encrypted and column-level encryption, so you can make informed choices about your security strategy.
