MongoDB has announced the general availability of MongoDB Queryable Encryption, a first-of-its-kind technology assisting organizations protect sensitive data when it is queried and in-use on MongoDB.
“Protecting data is critical for every organization, especially as the volume of data being generated grows and the sophistication of modern applications is only increasing. Organizations also face the challenge of meeting a growing number of data privacy and customer data protection requirements,” said Sahir Azam, Chief Product Officer, MongoDB.
Since the release of MongoDB Queryable Encryption in preview last year, MongoDB has worked in partnership with customers including leading financial institutions and Fortune 500 companies in the healthcare, insurance and automotive manufacturing industries to fine-tune the service for general availability.
With the general availability of MongoDB Queryable Encryption, customers can now secure sensitive workloads for use cases in highly regulated or data sensitive industries like financial services, health care, government, and critical infrastructure services by encrypting data while it is being processed and in-use.
Customers can get quickly started protecting data in-use by selecting the fields in MongoDB databases that contain sensitive data that need to be encrypted while in-use.
