Shield Platform Encryption Management
In today’s world, data security is a top priority for customers. Security breaches can be catastrophic. Salesforce recognizes this threat and has discovered that customers who need an additional layer of protection typically take a practical but conservative approach to data protection in the cloud. These customers have the following requirements:
• Encrypt sensitive data when it is stored at rest in the Salesforce cloud
• Support customer-controlled encryption key life cycles
• Preserve the Web Application and App Cloud functionality
• To meet the customers' requirements, Salesforce offers Platform Encryption as part of Salesforce Shield. With Salesforce Shield Platform Encryption, A360 admins can encrypt data at rest.
