AEP Edge Network security mechanism

Hello community,

 

When using personalisation done on the Edge, we understand that some PII data might be temporarily stored on the servers (up to 14 days) as part of the edge projection process. As such, what is the current security mechanism employed to protect this data? Is there encryption of data at rest? Is there any best practice recommendation to protect such kind of data from unintentional leaks?

 

I couldn't find much on any of the security white-papers.

 

Thank you for the guidance on this matter.

@rockett All data used by Experience Platform is encrypted in transit and at rest to keep data secure.

Data stored on Adobe Experience Platform is encrypted at rest using system-level keys. If you are using an application built on top of Experience Platform, you can opt to use your own encryption keys instead, giving you greater control over your data security.
