Explanation

There are a few options for in-transit encryption depending on what the cloud platform supports. One way is to encrypt before sending to the cloud (client-side encryption). Network encryption (TLS/SFTP/etc.) is another option. Most cloud provider APIs use Transport Layer Security (TLS) by default; if not, pick a different provider, since this is an essential security capability. Proxy- based encryption may be a third option, where you place an encryption proxy in a trusted area between the cloud user and the cloud provider and the proxy manages the encryption before transferring the data to the provider.
