Encryption in Social

Estimated reading: 2 minutes 283 views

Encryption protects the contents of your data so that only the intended recipient or system can read it, by converting it into unreadable text that can only be decoded with the correct key. This article explains how Zoho Social uses encryption to protect your information.

When encryption is used

Encryption in transit

This protects data while it moves from one point to another, for example from your browser to a web server, or through third-party integrations. It guards against man-in-the-middle attacks, so data cannot be intercepted and read during transmission.

Encryption at rest

This protects data while it is stored, for example on disks, databases or other storage systems, providing strong protection even if the underlying storage were accessed directly.

Full-disk encryption

In addition to application-level encryption, Zoho Social also provides full-disk encryption in select data centres, including India, Australia and Japan.
