Encryption in Transit

Encryption in Transit (Cloud)

Definition

Encryption in transit in cloud environments ensures that data moving between services, between users and cloud endpoints, and between cloud regions is protected using TLS or mutual TLS. Cloud services enforce encryption in transit through managed TLS termination at load balancers, VPC traffic encryption options, and minimum TLS version policies.

Service mesh architectures automate mutual TLS between all microservices, providing encryption without application changes.
