- Baffle Data Protection
Best for: Cloud teams protecting data in AWS Lambda and serverless workloads
The trade-off is that Baffle is narrower than platforms like DataSunrise or SecuPi. There is no database activity monitoring, no behavioral analytics, no SQL firewall, and no compliance reporting built in. It is an encryption and tokenization solution, and a good one, but you will need other solutions to cover monitoring and detection. The AWS-centric integration footprint also means teams running primarily on Azure or GCP should verify compatibility before assuming full support. For cloud-native teams, particularly those with serverless workloads on AWS, Baffle is worth a close look.

- Thales CipherTrust Database Protection
Best for: Column encryption without changing application code
This is the encryption pick on the list, because stolen data is useless without the key and you do not have to rewrite applications to get there. It fits teams of any size that must protect specific columns for regulators. It does not watch activity, so pair it with a monitoring product if you also need audit trails.
