The three server-side encryption models offer different key management characteristics, which you can choose according to your requirements: Service-managed keys: Provides a combination of control and convenience with low overhead. TDE protector is either a service-managed certificate (service-managed transparent data encryption) or an asymmetric key stored in Azure Key Vault (customer-managed transparent data encryption). When you interact with Azure Storage through the Azure portal, all transactions take place over HTTPS. It also provides comprehensive facility and physical security, data access control, and auditing. We recommend that you tightly control who has contributor access to your key vaults, to ensure that only authorized persons can access and manage your key vaults, keys, secrets, and certificates. For information about how to encrypt Windows VM disks, see Quickstart: Create and encrypt a Windows VM with the Azure CLI. Customer does not have the cost associated with implementation or the risk of a custom key management scheme. More info about Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge, Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) Publication 140-2, Data encryption models: supporting services table, Azure Storage Service Encryption for Data at Rest, Storage Service Encryption using customer-managed keys in Azure Key Vault, Client-Side Encryption and Azure Key Vault for Microsoft Azure Storage, Transparent Data Encryption with Bring Your Own Key support for Azure SQL Database and Data Warehouse, How data is protected at rest across Microsoft Azure. Encryption at rest is a mandatory measure required for compliance with some of those regulations. To learn more about encryption of data in transit in Data Lake, see Encryption of data in Data Lake Store. Permissions to use the keys stored in Azure Key Vault, either to manage or to access them for Encryption at Rest encryption and decryption, can be given to Azure Active Directory accounts. To learn more about BYOK for Azure SQL Database and Azure Synapse, see Transparent data encryption with Azure Key Vault integration. Microsoft never sees your keys, and applications dont have direct access to them. This means that the service has full access to the keys and the service has full control over the credential lifecycle management. The exception is tempdb, which is always encrypted with TDE to protect the data stored there. At rest: This includes all information storage objects, containers, and types that exist statically on physical media, whether magnetic or optical disk. An understanding of the various encryption models and their pros and cons is essential for understanding how the various resource providers in Azure implement encryption at Rest. Though details may vary, Azure services Encryption at Rest implementations can be described in terms illustrated in the following diagram. You can connect and sign in to a VM by using the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) from a Windows client computer, or from a Mac with an RDP client installed. Azure services are broadly enhancing Encryption at Rest availability and new options are planned for preview and general availability in the upcoming months. Azure Storage and Azure SQL Database encrypt data at rest by default, and many services offer encryption as an option. Upgrade to Microsoft Edge to take advantage of the latest features, security updates, and technical support. When you use client-side encryption with Key Vault, your data is encrypted using a one-time symmetric Content Encryption Key (CEK) that is generated by the Azure Storage client SDK. ), monitoring usage, and ensuring only authorized parties can access them. Each of the server-side encryption at rest models implies distinctive characteristics of key management. Best practice: Grant access to users, groups, and applications at a specific scope. Data Encryption at rest with Customer Managed keys for #AzureCosmosDB for PostgreSQL, a blog post by Akash Rao. Data in transit (also known as data in motion) is also always encrypted in Data Lake Store. For operations using encryption keys, a service identity can be granted access to any of the following operations: decrypt, encrypt, unwrapKey, wrapKey, verify, sign, get, list, update, create, import, delete, backup, and restore. You can connect to Azure through a virtual private network that creates a secure tunnel to protect the privacy of the data being sent across the network. Independent of the encryption at rest model used, Azure services always recommend the use of a secure transport such as TLS or HTTPS. The media can include files on magnetic or optical media, archived data, and data backups. All object metadata is also encrypted. Encryption of the database file is performed at the page level. Additionally, since the service does have access to the DEK during the encryption and decryption operations the overall security guarantees of this model are similar to when the keys are customer-managed in Azure Key Vault. Protection that is applied through Azure RMS stays with the documents and emails, independently of the location-inside or outside your organization, networks, file servers, and applications. Azure VPN gateways use a set of default proposals. Azure data encryption-at-rest scheme uses a combination of symmetric and asymmetric keys for establishing the key space. The protection technology uses Azure Rights Management (Azure RMS). Data encryption at rest is available for services across the software as a service (SaaS), platform as a service (PaaS), and infrastructure as a service (IaaS) cloud models. You can also use the Storage REST API over HTTPS to interact with Azure Storage. For developer information on Azure Key Vault and Managed Service Identities, see their respective SDKs. Create a site-to-site connection in the Azure portal, Create a site-to-site connection in PowerShell, Create a virtual network with a site-to-site VPN connection by using CLI. You can use a site-to-site VPN gateway connection to connect your on-premises network to an Azure virtual network over an IPsec/IKE (IKEv1 or IKEv2) VPN tunnel. Applies to: By using SSH keys for authentication, you eliminate the need for passwords to sign in. ** This service supports storing data in your own Key Vault, Storage Account, or other data persisting service that already supports Server-Side Encryption with Customer-Managed Key. Encryption keys are managed by Microsoft and are rotated per Microsoft internal guidelines. It allows cross-region access and even access on the desktop. By using SMB 3.0 in VMs that are running Windows Server 2012 or later, you can make data transfers secure by encrypting data in transit over Azure Virtual Networks. Vaults help reduce the chances of accidental loss of security information by centralizing the storage of application secrets. The Encryption at Rest designs in Azure use symmetric encryption to encrypt and decrypt large amounts of data quickly according to a simple conceptual model: In practice, key management and control scenarios, as well as scale and availability assurances, require additional constructs. Azure Disk Encryption : This is not enabled by default, but can be enabled on Windows and Linux Azure VMs. While some customers may want to manage the keys because they feel they gain greater security, the cost and risk associated with a custom key storage solution should be considered when evaluating this model. To start using TDE with Azure Key Vault integration, see the how-to guide Turn on transparent data encryption by using your own key from Key Vault. It uses the Bitlocker-feature of Windows (or DM-Crypt on Linux) to provide volume encryption for the OS and data disks of Azure virtual machines (VMs). In transit: When data is being transferred between components, locations, or programs, it's in transit. Azure offers many mechanisms for keeping data private as it moves from one location to another. Azure Cosmos DB is Microsoft's globally distributed, multi-model database. Organizations that fail to protect data in transit are more susceptible to man-in-the-middle attacks, eavesdropping, and session hijacking. Data encryption keys which are stored outside of secure locations are encrypted with a key encryption key kept in a secure location. Key Vault relieves organizations of the need to configure, patch, and maintain hardware security modules (HSMs) and key management software. IaaS services can enable encryption at rest in their Azure hosted virtual machines and VHDs using Azure Disk Encryption. Azure Key Vault helps safeguard cryptographic keys and secrets that cloud applications and services use. Without proper protection and management of the keys, encryption is rendered useless. Encryption at rest is designed to prevent the attacker from accessing the unencrypted data by ensuring the data is encrypted when on disk. The scope in this case would be a subscription, a resource group, or just a specific key vault. Protecting data in transit should be an essential part of your data protection strategy. 2 For information about creating an account that supports using customer-managed keys with Table storage, see Create an account that supports customer-managed keys for tables. Encryption of data at rest A complete Encryption-at-Rest solution ensures the data is never persisted in unencrypted form. More info about Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge, Client-side encryption for blobs and queues, Server-side encryption of Azure managed disks, Use customer-managed keys for Azure Storage encryption, Provide an encryption key on a request to Blob Storage, Create an account that supports customer-managed keys for queues, Create an account that supports customer-managed keys for tables, Create a storage account with infrastructure encryption enabled for double encryption of data, Azure Storage updating client-side encryption in SDK to address security vulnerability, SDK support matrix for client-side encryption, Customer-managed keys for Azure Storage encryption, Blob Storage client libraries for .NET (version 12.13.0 and above), Java (version 12.18.0 and above), and Python (version 12.13.0 and above). SQL Managed Instance databases created through restore inherit encryption status from the source. To see the encryption at rest options available to you, examine the Data encryption models: supporting services table for the storage and application platforms that you use. Each section includes links to more detailed information. You can also use Remote Desktop to connect to a Linux VM in Azure. In this scenario, the additional layer of encryption continues to protect your data. Platform as a Service (PaaS) customer's data typically resides in a storage service such as Blob Storage but may also be cached or stored in the application execution environment, such as a virtual machine. The CEK is encrypted using a Key Encryption Key (KEK), which can be either a symmetric key or an asymmetric key pair. Key Vault is the Microsoft-recommended solution for managing and controlling access to encryption keys used by cloud services. Full control over the keys used encryption keys are managed in the customer's Key Vault under the customer's control. For Azure SQL Database and Azure Synapse, you can manage TDE for the database in the Azure portal after you've signed in with the Azure Administrator or Contributor account. This article summarizes and provides resources to help you use the Azure encryption options. The configuration steps are different from using an asymmetric key in SQL Database and SQL Managed Instance. Best practice: Apply disk encryption to help safeguard your data. In the wrong hands, your application's security or the security of your data can be compromised. Some items considered customer content, such as table names, object names, and index names, may be transmitted in log files for support and troubleshooting by Microsoft. Data-in-transit encryption is used to secure all client connections from customer network to SAP systems. All Azure Storage resources are encrypted, including blobs, disks, files, queues, and tables. You don't need to decrypt databases for operations within Azure. This article describes best practices for data security and encryption. In this course, you will learn how to apply additional encryption protection for data at rest on Azure resources, including Azure storage, Azure Disk Encryption, Recovery Vaults, Transparent Data Encryption, and Always Encrypted databases. If you have specific key rotation requirements, Microsoft recommends that you move to customer-managed keys so that you can manage and audit the rotation yourself. When you export a TDE-protected database, the exported content of the database isn't encrypted. Connections also use RSA-based 2,048-bit encryption key lengths. Customer-managed TDE is also referred to as Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) support for TDE. Microsoft gives customers the ability to use Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol to protect data when its traveling between the cloud services and customers. May 1, 2023. Best practice: Use a secure management workstation to protect sensitive accounts, tasks, and data. In these cases, you can enable the Encryption at Rest support as provided by each consumed Azure service. Operations that are included involve: Taking manual COPY-ONLY backup of a database encrypted by service-managed TDE is not supported in Azure SQL Managed Instance, since the certificate used for encryption is not accessible. Best practice: Move larger data sets over a dedicated high-speed WAN link. Best practice: Control what users have access to. Data in a new storage account is encrypted with Microsoft-managed keys by default. The Resource Provider might use encryption keys that are managed by Microsoft or by the customer depending on the provided configuration. Customers who require high levels of assurance that their data is secure can also enable 256-bit AES encryption at the Azure Storage infrastructure level. This article applies to Azure SQL Database, Azure SQL Managed Instance, and Azure Synapse Analytics (dedicated SQL pools (formerly SQL DW)). Detail: Use Azure Disk Encryption for Linux VMs or Azure Disk Encryption for Windows VMs. We allow inbound connections over TLS 1.1 and 1.0 to support external clients. As described previously, the goal of encryption at rest is that data that is persisted on disk is encrypted with a secret encryption key. The storage location of the encryption keys and access control to those keys is central to an encryption at rest model. For information about encryption and key management for Azure managed disks, see Server-side encryption of Azure managed disks. You maintain complete control of the keys. Azure Disk Encryption helps protect and safeguard your data to meet your organizational security and compliance commitments. To restore an existing TDE-encrypted database, the required TDE certificate must first be imported into the SQL Managed Instance. Data encryption at rest is a mandatory step toward data privacy, compliance, and data sovereignty. Customers can store the master key in a Windows certificate store, Azure Key Vault, or a local Hardware Security Module. Encryption at rest keys are made accessible to a service through an access control policy. If permissions of the server to the key vault are revoked, a database will be inaccessible, and all data is encrypted. Microsoft Azure Encryption at Rest concepts and components are described below. An attacker who compromises the endpoint can use the user's credentials to gain access to the organization's data. Upgrade to Microsoft Edge to take advantage of the latest features, security updates, and technical support. TDE protects data and log files, using AES and Triple Data Encryption Standard (3DES) encryption algorithms. By using the Azure Backup service, you can back up and restore encrypted virtual machines (VMs) that use Key Encryption Key (KEK) configuration. Data at rest includes information that resides in persistent storage on physical media, in any digital format. In many cases, an organization may determine that resource constraints or risks of an on-premises solution may be greater than the risk of cloud management of the encryption at rest keys. It is recommended that whenever possible, IaaS applications leverage Azure Disk Encryption and Encryption at Rest options provided by any consumed Azure services. If a user has contributor permissions (Azure RBAC) to a key vault management plane, they can grant themselves access to the data plane by setting a key vault access policy. Detail: Encrypt your drives before you write sensitive data to them. For documentation on Transparent Data Encryption for dedicated SQL pools inside Synapse workspaces, see Azure Synapse Analytics encryption. Microsoft Azure provides a compliant platform for services, applications, and data. This new feature provides complete control over data security, making it easier than ever to meet compliance and regulatory requirements. All Azure Storage services (Blob storage, Queue storage, Table storage, and Azure Files) support server-side encryption at rest; some services additionally support customer-managed keys and client-side encryption. With proper file protection, you can analyze data flows to gain insight into your business, detect risky behaviors and take corrective measures, track access to documents, and so on. Client Encryption model refers to encryption that is performed outside of the Resource Provider or Azure by the service or calling application. Enables or disables transparent data encryption for a database. While Google Cloud Storage always encrypts your data before it's written to disk, you can use BlueXP APIs to create a Cloud Volumes ONTAP system that uses customer-managed encryption keys. An Azure service running on behalf of an associated subscription can be configured with an identity in that subscription. See, Table Storage client library for .NET, Java, and Python. The encryption can be performed by the service application in Azure, or by an application running in the customer data center. Encryption at rest is implemented by using a number of security technologies, including secure key storage systems, encrypted networks, and cryptographic APIs. However, service local access to encryption keys is more efficient for bulk encryption and decryption than interacting with Key Vault for every data operation, allowing for stronger encryption and better performance. All HTTP traffics are protected with TLS 1.2 transport layer encryption with AES-256-GCM Access from thick clients (SAP Frontend) is uses SAP proprietary DIAG protocol secured by SAP Secure Network Communication (SNC) with AES-256-GCM. There are three scenarios for server-side encryption: Server-side encryption using Service-Managed keys, Server-side encryption using customer-managed keys in Azure Key Vault, Server-side encryption using customer-managed keys on customer-controlled hardware. Site-to-site VPNs use IPsec for transport encryption. More info about Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge, Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption, Tutorial: Encrypt and decrypt blobs in Azure Storage by using Key Vault, cell-level encryption or column-level encryption (CLE), The Secure Socket Tunneling Protocol (SSTP), Data security and encryption best practices. This protection technology uses encryption, identity, and authorization policies. Microsoft Azure Services each support one or more of the encryption at rest models. Data encrypted by an application thats running in the customers datacenter or by a service application. Examples are transfer over the network, across a service bus (from on-premises to cloud and vice-versa, including hybrid connections such as ExpressRoute), or during an input/output process. Software services, referred to as Software as a Service or SaaS, which have applications provided by the cloud such as Microsoft 365. While the Resource Provider performs the encryption and decryption operations, it uses the configured key encryption key as the root key for all encryption operations. Best practice: Secure access from multiple workstations located on-premises to an Azure virtual network. Azure supports various encryption models, including server-side encryption that uses service-managed keys, customer-managed keys in Key Vault, or customer-managed keys on customer-controlled hardware. Using client-side encryption with Table Storage is not recommended. Detail: All transactions occur via HTTPS. For more information about how to create a storage account that enables infrastructure encryption, see Create a storage account with infrastructure encryption enabled for double encryption of data. Microsoft recommends using service-side encryption to protect your data for most scenarios. Make sure that your data remains in the correct geopolitical zone when using Azure data services. For more detail on Key Vault authorization see the secure your key vault page in the Azure Key Vault documentation. In Azure, organizations can encrypt data at rest without the risk or cost of a custom key management solution. Azure Storage encryption protects your data and to help you to meet your organizational security and compliance commitments. The service can perform Azure Active Directory authentication and receive an authentication token identifying itself as that service acting on behalf of the subscription. Existing SQL databases created before May 2017 and SQL databases created through restore, geo-replication, and database copy are not encrypted by default. This feature enables developers to encrypt data inside client applications before putting in into Azure Storage. Use PowerShell or the Azure portal. All Azure AD APIs are web-based using SSL through HTTPS to encrypt the data. Azure's geo-replicated storage uses the concept of a paired region in the same geopolitical region. Microsoft Cloud services are used in all three cloud models: IaaS, PaaS, SaaS. The encrypted data is then uploaded to Azure Storage. This paper focuses on: Encryption at Rest is a common security requirement. Some services may store only the root Key Encryption Key in Azure Key Vault and store the encrypted Data Encryption Key in an internal location closer to the data. As a result, this model is not appropriate for most organizations unless they have specific key management requirements. Independent of the encryption at rest model used, Azure services always recommend the use of a secure transport such as TLS or HTTPS. Data that is already encrypted when it is received by Azure. You can also import or generate keys in HSMs. Key Vault streamlines the key management process and enables you to maintain control of keys that access and encrypt your data. Additionally, custom solutions should use Azure managed service identities to enable service accounts to access encryption keys. This contradicts with the unencrypted secrets we saw from kubectl commands or from azure portal. To use TDE with BYOK support and protect your databases with a key from Key Vault, open the TDE settings under your server. CMK encryption allows you to encrypt your data at rest using . AES handles encryption, decryption, and key management transparently. Microsoft Azure includes tools to safeguard data according to your company's security and compliance needs. More info about Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge, Azure Synapse Analytics (dedicated SQL pool (formerly SQL DW) only), Azure Resource Providers perform the encryption and decryption operations, Customer controls keys via Azure Key Vault, Customer controls keys on customer-controlled hardware, Customers manage and store keys on-premises (or in other secure stores). Keys should be backed up whenever created or rotated. In Azure, organizations can encrypt data at rest without the risk or cost of a custom key management solution.
