The Heart database typically handles sensitive data the requires encryption.
Microsoft SQL Server addresses this requirement by providing a solution called Transparent Data Encryption (TDE).
This solution performs real-time encryption and decryption, preventing malicious users from accessing the data without the appropriate decryption keys.
As with any database operation, this requires additional resources such as CPU power and access time.
For more information on implementing encryption, refer to Transparent Data Encryption in the SQL Server section on the learn.microsoft.com website.
