Understanding Native Encryption

Native encryption refers to the encryption capabilities built into an operating system or software by default. It is designed to secure data at rest or during transmission without requiring additional third-party tools or software. Native encryption helps protect sensitive information from unauthorized access or theft by converting the data into a format that can only be read with the correct decryption key.
