Server-side encryption using service-managed Keys enables this model by allowing customers to mark the specific resource (Storage Account, SQL DB, etc.) Azure Storage encryption protects your data and to help you to meet your organizational security and compliance commitments. The one exception is when you export a database to and from SQL Database. For more information, see, Client-side: Azure Blobs, Tables, and Queues support client-side encryption. Azure Key Vault supports customer creation of keys or import of customer keys for use in customer-managed encryption key scenarios. The Resource Provider might use encryption keys that are managed by Microsoft or by the customer depending on the provided configuration. In either case, when leveraging this encryption model, the Azure Resource Provider receives an encrypted blob of data without the ability to decrypt the data in any way or have access to the encryption keys. Be sure to protect the BACPAC files appropriately and enable TDE after import of the new database is finished. 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. Limiting the use of a single encryption key decreases the risk that the key will be compromised and the cost of re-encryption when a key must be replaced. You can use the Azure Storage Client Library for .NET NuGet package to encrypt data within your client applications prior to uploading it to your Azure storage. The exception is tempdb, which is always encrypted with TDE to protect the data stored there. 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. Encryption at rest keys are made accessible to a service through an access control policy. To use TDE with BYOK support and protect your databases with a key from Key Vault, open the TDE settings under your server. If you are managing your own keys, you can rotate the MEK. You can protect your managed disks by using Azure Disk Encryption for Linux VMs, which uses DM-Crypt, or Azure Disk Encryption for Windows VMs, which uses Windows BitLocker, to protect both operating system disks and data disks with full volume encryption. Whenever Azure Customer traffic moves between datacenters-- outside physical boundaries not controlled by Microsoft (or on behalf of Microsoft)-- a data-link layer encryption method using the IEEE 802.1AE MAC Security Standards (also known as MACsec) is applied from point-to-point across the underlying network hardware. SSH uses a public/private key pair (asymmetric encryption) for authentication. The built-in server certificate is unique for each server and the encryption algorithm used is AES 256. Best practice: Move larger data sets over a dedicated high-speed WAN link. Azure SQL Database CMK encryption allows you to encrypt your data at rest using . By encrypting data, you help protect against tampering and eavesdropping attacks. Practice Key Vault recovery operations on a regular basis. Double encryption of Azure Storage data protects against a scenario where one of the encryption algorithms or keys may be compromised. The arguments for the commands in the Az module and in the AzureRm modules are substantially identical. For more information on Azure Disk encryption, see Azure Disk Encryption for Linux VMs or Azure Disk Encryption for Windows VMs. Azure Storage Service Encryption (SSE) can automatically encrypt data before it is stored, and it automatically decrypts the data when you retrieve it. Increased dependency on network availability between the customer datacenter and Azure datacenters. Transient caches, if any, are encrypted with a Microsoft key. Azure services that support this model provide a means of establishing a secure connection to a customer supplied key store. Client-side encryption encrypts the data before its sent to your Azure Storage instance, so that its encrypted as it travels across the network. Encryption of data at rest A complete Encryption-at-Rest solution ensures the data is never persisted in unencrypted form. TDE protects data and log files, using AES and Triple Data Encryption Standard (3DES) encryption algorithms. Key Vault provides central key management, leverages tightly monitored HSMs, and enables separation of duties between management of keys and data to help meet compliance with security policies. The following table compares key management options for Azure Storage encryption. 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. Detail: Enforce security policies across all devices that are used to consume data, regardless of the data location (cloud or on-premises). Disk Encryption combines the industry-standard Linux dm-crypt or Windows BitLocker feature to provide volume encryption for the OS and the data disks. 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). It provides features for a robust solution for certificate lifecycle management. Azure Storage and Azure SQL Database encrypt data at rest by default, and many services offer encryption as an option. For more information, see, To learn more about TDE with BYOK support for Azure SQL Database, Azure SQL Managed Instance and Azure Synapse, see. 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. Encryption scopes enable you to manage encryption with a key that is scoped to a container or an individual blob. No setup is required. There are two versions of client-side encryption available in the client libraries: Using client-side encryption v1 is no longer recommended due to a security vulnerability in the client library's implementation of CBC mode. Later the attacker would put the hard drive into a computer under their control to attempt to access the data. In addition to encrypting data prior to storing it in persistent media, the data is also always secured in transit by using HTTPS. Due to these limitations, most Azure services do not support server-side encryption using customer-managed keys in customer-controlled hardware. You can use encryption scopes to create secure boundaries between data that resides in the same storage account but belongs to different customers. For Azure SQL Database and Azure Synapse, the TDE protector is set at the server level and is inherited by all databases associated with that server. You can manage it locally or store it in Key Vault. Keys are not available to Azure services, Microsoft manages key rotation, backup, and redundancy. Azure Key Vault is designed to support application keys and secrets. To configure data Encryption at rest, Azure offers below two solutions : Storage Service Encryption: This is enabled by default and cannot be disabled. For client-side encryption, consider the following: The supported encryption models in Azure split into two main groups: "Client Encryption" and "Server-side Encryption" as mentioned previously. As of June 2017, Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) is enabled by default on newly created databases. However, this model might not be sufficient for organizations that have requirements to control the creation or lifecycle of the encryption keys or to have different personnel manage a service's encryption keys than those managing the service (that is, segregation of key management from the overall management model for the service). This paper focuses on: Encryption at Rest is a common security requirement. Data in transit over the network in RDP sessions can be protected by TLS. The subscription administrator or owner should use a secure access workstation or a privileged access workstation. Upgrade to Microsoft Edge to take advantage of the latest features, security updates, and technical support. If an attacker obtains a hard drive with encrypted data but not the encryption keys, the attacker must defeat the encryption to read the data. If you are currently using v1, we recommend that you update your application to use client-side encryption v2 and migrate your data. Detail: Use point-to-site VPN. Azure Storage encryption protects your data and to help you to meet your organizational security and compliance commitments. If a database is in a geo-replication relationship, both the primary and geo-secondary databases are protected by the primary database's parent server key. The service can perform Azure Active Directory authentication and receive an authentication token identifying itself as that service acting on behalf of the subscription. Another benefit is that you manage all your certificates in one place in Azure Key Vault. For more information about the cryptographic modules underlying Azure Storage encryption, see Cryptography API: Next Generation. You don't need to decrypt databases for operations within Azure. HTTPS is the only protocol that is supported for the Data Lake Store REST interfaces. SQL Managed Instance databases created through restore inherit encryption status from the source. TDE must be manually enabled for Azure Synapse Analytics. by Ned Bellavance. For example: Apply a label named "highly confidential" to all documents and emails that contain top-secret data, to classify and protect this data. In the wrong hands, your application's security or the security of your data can be compromised. In this model, the key management is done by the calling service/application and is opaque to the Azure service. Newly created Azure SQL databases will be encrypted at rest by default Published date: May 01, 2017 Starting today, we will encrypt all new Azure SQL databases with transparent data encryption by default, to make it easier for everyone to benefit from encryption at rest. The Blob Storage and Queue Storage client libraries uses AES in order to encrypt user data. Find the TDE settings under your user database. Existing SQL Managed Instance databases created before February 2019 are not encrypted by default. By using the Azure Backup service, you can back up and restore encrypted virtual machines (VMs) that use Key Encryption Key (KEK) configuration. To learn more about encryption of data in transit in Data Lake, see Encryption of data in Data Lake Store. For example, if you want to grant an application access to use keys in a key vault, you only need to grant data plane access permissions by using key vault access policies, and no management plane access is needed for this application. Security administrators can grant (and revoke) permission to keys, as needed. Data at transit: This includes data that is being transferred between components, locations, or programs. TDE performs real-time I/O encryption and decryption of the data at the page level. In some circumstances, you might want to isolate the entire communication channel between your on-premises and cloud infrastructures by using a VPN. Best practice: Interact with Azure Storage through the Azure portal. You set the TDE master key, known as the TDE protector, at the server or instance level. 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. For more information, see Client-side encryption for blobs and queues. Etcd store is fully managed by AKS and data is encrypted at rest within the Azure platform. The same encryption key is used to decrypt that data as it is readied for use in memory. The pages in an encrypted database are encrypted before they are written to disk and are decrypted when theyre read into memory. Encryption scopes can use either Microsoft-managed keys or customer-managed keys. However, the Azure Storage client libraries for Blob Storage and Queue Storage also provide client-side encryption for customers who need to encrypt data on the client. Client encryption model Azure data encryption-at-rest scheme uses a combination of symmetric and asymmetric keys for establishing the key space. If you choose to manage encryption with your own keys, you have two options. It is recommended that whenever possible, IaaS applications leverage Azure Disk Encryption and Encryption at Rest options provided by any consumed Azure services. This article uses the Azure Az PowerShell module, which is the recommended PowerShell module for interacting with Azure. The best practices are based on a consensus of opinion, and they work with current Azure platform capabilities and feature sets. Use Azure RBAC to control what users have access to. 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. Attacks against data at-rest include attempts to obtain physical access to the hardware on which the data is stored, and then compromise the contained data. The following table shows which client libraries support which versions of client-side encryption and provides guidelines for migrating to client-side encryption v2. Support for server encryption is currently provided through the SQL feature called Transparent Data Encryption. For these cmdlets, see AzureRM.Sql. You can't switch the TDE protector to a key from Key Vault by using Transact-SQL. For Azure SQL Managed Instance, TDE is enabled at the instance level and newly created databases. ** 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. Amazon S3 supports both client and server encryption of data at Rest. Each section includes links to more detailed information. It covers the major areas of encryption, including encryption at rest, encryption in flight, and key management with Azure Key Vault. To ensure this data is encrypted at rest, IaaS applications can use Azure Disk Encryption on an Azure IaaS virtual machine (Windows or Linux) and virtual disk. Microsoft Azure includes tools to safeguard data according to your company's security and compliance needs. In Azure, organizations can encrypt data at rest without the risk or cost of a custom key management solution. Detail: Azure Resource Manager can securely deploy certificates stored in Azure Key Vault to Azure VMs when the VMs are deployed. Doing so gives you more granular encryption capability than TDE, which encrypts data in pages. Apply labels that reflect your business requirements. If permissions of the server to the key vault are revoked, a database will be inaccessible, and all data is encrypted. Best practice: Control what users have access to. For Azure SQL Managed Instance use Transact-SQL (T-SQL) to turn TDE on and off on a database. 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. Azure's geo-replicated storage uses the concept of a paired region in the same geopolitical region. Encryption at rest may also be required by an organization's need for data governance and compliance efforts. Protection of customer data stored within Azure Services is of paramount importance to Microsoft. When sending encrypted traffic between an Azure virtual network and an on-premises location over the public internet, use Azure VPN Gateway. You want to control and secure email, documents, and sensitive data that you share outside your company. DEK is protected by the TDE protector. It also provides comprehensive facility and physical security, data access control, and auditing. Data in a new storage account is encrypted with Microsoft-managed keys by default. The TDE settings on the source database or primary database are transparently inherited on the target. You provide your own key for data encryption at rest. Perfect Forward Secrecy (PFS) protects connections between customers client systems and Microsoft cloud services by unique keys. Encryption at rest provides data protection for stored data (at rest). An example of virtual disk encryption is Azure Disk Encryption. Microsoft automatically rotates these certificates in compliance with the internal security policy and the root key is protected by a Microsoft internal secret store. You can also use Azure RMS with your own line-of-business applications and information protection solutions from software vendors, whether these applications and solutions are on-premises or in the cloud. The term server refers both to server and instance throughout this document, unless stated differently. If an attacker obtains a hard drive with encrypted data but not the encryption keys, the attacker must defeat the encryption to read the data. You can also import or generate keys in HSMs. 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. 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. TDE encrypts the storage of an entire database by using a symmetric key called the Database Encryption Key (DEK). You can also enable delegation of on-premises database administration to third parties and maintain separation between those who own and can view the data and those who manage it but should not have access to it. Best practice: Apply disk encryption to help safeguard your data. You can use an Azure VPN gateway to send encrypted traffic between your virtual network and your on-premises location across a public connection, or to send traffic between virtual networks. Encryption keys are managed by Microsoft and are rotated per Microsoft internal guidelines. For Azure services, Azure Key Vault is the recommended key storage solution and provides a common management experience across services. For additional control over encryption, you should supply your own keys using a disk encryption set backed by an Azure Key Vault. Client-side encryption of Azure SQL Database data is supported through the Always Encrypted feature. This approach ensures that anybody who sends links with SAS tokens uses the proper protocol. Data encrypted by an application thats running in the customers datacenter or by a service application. The storage location of the encryption keys and access control to those keys is central to an encryption at rest model. Key vaults also control and log the access to anything stored in them. Most endpoint attacks take advantage of the fact that users are administrators in their local workstations. 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. Upgrade to Microsoft Edge to take advantage of the latest features, security updates, and technical support. Azure SQL Database is a general-purpose relational database service in Azure that supports structures such as relational data, JSON, spatial, and XML. In such an attack, a server's hard drive may have been mishandled during maintenance allowing an attacker to remove the hard drive. For information about how to encrypt Windows VM disks, see Quickstart: Create and encrypt a Windows VM with the Azure CLI. Encryption at rest can be enabled at the database and server levels. The change in default will happen gradually by region. To start using TDE with Bring Your Own Key support, see the how-to guide, For more information about Key Vault, see. SMB 3.0, which used to access Azure Files shares, supports encryption, and it's available in Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, and Windows 10. Encryption of the database file is performed at the page level. Client Encryption model refers to encryption that is performed outside of the Resource Provider or Azure by the service or calling application. Encryption of data at rest is one of the most important options available here which can be leveraged to encrypt Azure Virtual Machine data, storage account data, and various other at-rest data sources such as databases in Azure. Connect to the database by using a login that is an administrator or member of the dbmanager role in the master database. Industry and government regulations such as HIPAA, PCI and FedRAMP, lay out specific safeguards regarding data protection and encryption requirements. You can use either type of key management, or both: By default, a storage account is encrypted with a key that is scoped to the entire storage account. Azure Key Vault can handle requesting and renewing Transport Layer Security (TLS) certificates. Key Vault streamlines the key management process and enables you to maintain control of keys that access and encrypt your data. Always Encrypted uses a key that created and stored by the client. Detail: Access to a key vault is controlled through two separate interfaces: management plane and data plane. Use the following cmdlets for Azure SQL Database and Azure Synapse: For Azure SQL Managed Instance, use the T-SQL ALTER DATABASE command to turn TDE on and off on a database level, and check sample PowerShell script to manage TDE on an instance level. Storing an encryption key in Azure Key Vault ensures secure key access and central management of keys. Data that is already encrypted when it is received by Azure. for encryption and leaving all key management aspects such as key issuance, rotation, and backup to Microsoft. Server-side encryption using service-managed keys therefore quickly addresses the need to have encryption at rest with low overhead to the customer. The following resources are available to provide more general information about Azure security and related Microsoft services: More info about Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge, Deploy Certificates to VMs from customer-managed Key Vault, Azure resource providers encryption model support to learn more, Azure security best practices and patterns. This information protection solution keeps you in control of your data, even when it's shared with other people. Data may be partitioned, and different keys may be used for each partition. If the predefined roles don't fit your needs, you can define your own roles. Transparent data encryption (TDE) helps protect Azure SQL Database, Azure SQL Managed Instance, and Azure Synapse Analytics against the threat of malicious offline activity by encrypting data at rest. Independent of the encryption at rest model used, Azure services always recommend the use of a secure transport such as TLS or HTTPS. Google Cloud Platform data-at-rest encryption is enabled by default for Cloud Volumes ONTAP. 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. Data at rest includes information that resides in persistent storage on physical media, in any digital format. Platform services in which customers use the cloud for things like storage, analytics, and service bus functionality in their applications. Best practice: Store certificates in your key vault. Organizations have the option of letting Azure completely manage Encryption at Rest. 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. To configure TDE through PowerShell, you must be connected as the Azure Owner, Contributor, or SQL Security Manager. Finally, you can also use the Azure Storage Client Library for Java to perform client-side encryption before you upload data to Azure Storage, and to decrypt the data when you download it to the client. Azure Disk Encryption helps protect and safeguard your data to meet your organizational security and compliance commitments. Following are security best practices for using Key Vault. In Azure, organizations can encrypt data at rest without the risk or cost of a custom key management solution. Administrators can enable SMB encryption for the entire server, or just specific shares. Data-in-transit encryption is used to secure all client connections from customer network to SAP systems. Using client-side encryption with Table Storage is not recommended. We explicitly deny any connection over all legacy versions of SSL including SSL 3.0 and 2.0. IaaS services can enable encryption at rest in their Azure hosted virtual machines and VHDs using Azure Disk Encryption. TDE is enabled on the new database, but the BACPAC file itself still isn't encrypted. Though details may vary, Azure services Encryption at Rest implementations can be described in terms illustrated in the following diagram. You can configure a point-to-site VPN connection to a virtual network by using the Azure portal with certificate authentication or PowerShell. TDE performs real-time I/O encryption and decryption of the data at the page level. For information about Microsoft 365 services, see Encryption in Microsoft 365. For more information on Microsoft's approach to FIPS 140-2 validation, see Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) Publication 140-2. It also allows organizations to implement separation of duties in the management of keys and data. When available a customer typically opens the Azure portal for the target subscription and resource provider and checks a box indicating, they would like the data to be encrypted. Additionally, custom solutions should use Azure managed service identities to enable service accounts to access encryption keys. Customer-managed keys: Gives you control over the keys, including Bring Your Own Keys (BYOK) support, or allows you to generate new ones. The TDE Protector can be generated by the key vault or transferred to the key vault from an on-premises hardware security module (HSM) device. Specifically, developers should use the Azure Key Vault service to provide secure key storage as well as provide their customers with consistent key management options with that of most Azure platform services. In transit: When data is being transferred between components, locations, or programs, it's in transit. Organizations that fail to protect data in transit are more susceptible to man-in-the-middle attacks, eavesdropping, and session hijacking. It includes: With client-side encryption, cloud service providers dont have access to the encryption keys and cannot decrypt this data. In this model, the service must use the key from an external site to decrypt the Data Encryption Key (DEK). This combination makes it difficult for someone to intercept and access data that is in transit. Update your code to use client-side encryption v2. This attack is much more complex and resource consuming than accessing unencrypted data on a hard drive. For documentation on Transparent Data Encryption for dedicated SQL pools inside Synapse workspaces, see Azure Synapse Analytics encryption. There is no additional cost for Azure Storage encryption. Data at rest in Azure Blob storage and Azure file shares can be encrypted in both server-side and client-side scenarios. In that model, the Resource Provider performs the encrypt and decrypt operations. The CEK is encrypted using a Key Encryption Key (KEK), which can be either a symmetric key or an asymmetric key pair. Additionally, services may release support for these scenarios and key types at different schedules. 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. In these cases, you can enable the Encryption at Rest support as provided by each consumed Azure service. When you use Key Vault, you maintain control. ), No ability to segregate key management from overall management model for the service. To help protect data in the cloud, you need to account for the possible states in which your data can occur, and what controls are available for that state. Only an entity with access to the Key Encryption Key can decrypt these Data Encryption Keys. Microsoft Azure offers a variety of data storage solutions to meet different needs, including file, disk, blob, and table storage. Because the vast majority of attacks target the end user, the endpoint becomes one of the primary points of attack. That token can then be presented to Key Vault to obtain a key it has been given access to. To learn more about and download the Azure Storage Client Library for .NET NuGet package, see Windows Azure Storage 8.3.0. Performance and availability guarantees are impacted, and configuration is more complex. All Azure hosted services are committed to providing Encryption at Rest options. Microsoft 365 has several options for customers to verify or enable encryption at rest. Additionally, organizations have various options to closely manage encryption or encryption keys. These attacks can be the first step in gaining access to confidential data. Best practice: Use a secure management workstation to protect sensitive accounts, tasks, and data.
