What is ServiceNow Edge Encryption?from servicenow.com
ServiceNow®Edge Encryption is an on premises proxy server that uses industry standard encryption and tokenization to make specific ServiceNow instance data (fields and attachments) unreadable and unusable to any unauthorized user or application. Using the integrated Edge Encryption solution, your data is protected while in-motion, in use, and at rest. Edge Encryption provides ServiceNow customers peace of mind by encrypting your ServiceNow data before it goes to the ServiceNow cloud data center. The Edge Encryption proxy is a gateway between all client connections and the ServiceNow instance, and supports SSL/TLS browser sessions, or application-based REST/SOAP API sessions and ODBC connections. Data moving from the customer premises passes through the proxy, which is configured to encrypt specific field and attachments before they reach the ServiceNow instance. You retain full control of the data encryption keys necessary to encrypt and decrypt your data. Even in the unlikely event of a data breach of the ServiceNow data center, your encrypted data is useless to the attacker. This means your data cannot be seen or accessed in any useable state by ServiceNow, a potential attacker, or any other unauthorized party. Once deployed, authorized access to the ServiceNow instance data can only be achieved through the Edge Encryption proxy using the appropriate encryption keys and certificates. Edge Encryption allows you to securely expand the use of your ServiceNow enterprise services and keep control over your most sensitive data where that data is at rest, in motion, or in use.
