Explanation

Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) helps protect against the threat of malicious activity by encrypting and decrypting your data at rest. When you encrypt your database, associated backups and transaction log files are encrypted without requiring any changes to your applications. TDE encrypts the storage of an entire database by using a symmetric key called the database encryption key. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/synapse-analytics/sql-data-warehouse/sql-data- warehouse-overview-manage-security
