VerifiedInstallation and Configuration

Northern Trail Outfitters stores most of its customer data in Marketing Cloud. They are comfortable with users who have access viewing the data in clear text within SFMC, but want to ensure the underlying database files are encrypted at rest if physical media is stolen.

Which encryption method should be used?

Explanation

Transparent Data Encryption encrypts the database files at rest while remaining transparent to Marketing Cloud users and application features, so authorized users can view the data as plain text. Salesforce describes Data at Rest Encryption as protecting underlying file-system files without using application-layer or field-level encryption.
