What role does encryption play in ensuring data security during cloud storage integration with Commvault?

Encryption plays a crucial role in ensuring data security during cloud storage integration with Commvault. Commvault encrypts data before transferring it to the cloud storage, ensuring that data remains secure and protected throughout the transfer process. This encryption is essential for safeguarding sensitive information and complying with security standards and regulations. While some cloud storage providers offer encryption capabilities, relying solely on the provider's encryption may not provide the same level of control and security as when Commvault encrypts data before transfer. Encryption being optional, not supported, or applied only by the cloud storage provider may pose security risks and lead to compliance issues.
