Hoping someone can either confirm my thought process or set me straight in Hardware vs Software DB encryption. With Hardware encryption you are encrypting the full disk, quicker encryption, less resource intensive, however it protects more so against physical theft.
as far as Risk Threat goes, if someone were to copy a TDE protected DB they would still have to crack encryption to access data. If that same person were to steal a copy of a DB that is sitting on a full disk encrypted piece of hardware, they would have the DB free and clear, its off the hardware and not enrypted? is that correct ?
thanks for the insight
