Explanation
Google Cloud encrypts all customer data at rest by default using AES-256, and all data in transit between Google services (and between users and Google) is encrypted using TLS. This encryption is automatic and requires no configuration from the customer. This dual-layer default encryption is a foundational security feature of the platform, ensuring data is protected whether it is stored on disk or moving across a network.
