Managing Field Level Encryption

Administrators can encrypt data fields to prevent unauthorized users from accessing sensitive information, such as credit card or social security numbers. Aptify encrypts field data using Microsoft's Cryptographic Services (see About the Field Level Encryption Implementation for more information).

An administrator enables encryption on a per-field basis within a specific entity.
