In this post, I will focus on securing object storage data with your own encryption key, but note that this content is still very relevant for other OCI services such as block, object or file services or Oracle's platform solutions such as databases, analytics, etc. By default, OCI/Oracle automatically manages the keys that are used to encrypt and secure your data on the OCI platform.. this makes things a little simpler - you know your data is secure, so you don't need to worry about it. However, there may be requirements to use customer-managed encryption keys. We will explore how in the post.
