Our take
What our shortlists say about the one we picked.
- 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.
