Our Organization is using Oracle 12C Database, we have a requirement that we should encrypt our data at rest. My question is Does Oracle 12C by default enforce any encryption mechanism to the Data at rest in Database. If not, Can you suggest me some mechanism to achieve database encryption at rest.

and we said...

For on-premises Oracle Databases, the Advanced Security license option includes the Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) feature.  This encrypts the data at rest protecting the database files on the server and in storage and on the network in between.  Oracle Cloud Database Cloud Services (DBCS) automatically encrypts your data at rest.
