Data encryption

Cloud and dedicated servers⁠

If you are using a Linux server, you can encrypt a volume or a single partition using the cryptsetup utility. This utility works with the dm-crypt subsystem and LUKS specification — standard components of the Linux kernel that are widely used in most popular distributions. dm-crypt is responsible for the encryption process and LUKS is responsible for key management.

Managed databases⁠

In PostgreSQL and PostgreSQL TimescaleDB databases, you can encrypt data using the pgcrypto extension which provides a set of cryptographic functions for data protection. Learn more in the instructions Data encryption in PostgreSQL.
