What is a weakness of Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) in Azure SQL Database?
Experience Level: Senior
Tags: Azure CloudAzure SQL Database
Answer
TDE protects only data at rest. When data is loaded into memory, it is decrypted and accessible to administrators (DBAs) and can be used by all roles and applications that have access to the database. So if there are any sensitive data in columns that need to be protected from administrator roles and remain encrypted in memory, Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) won't help you.
