Environment
- CB Protection Server: All Supported Versions
- Microsoft SQL Server: All Supported Versions
Question
Are there any known issues or concerns with encrypting the CB Protection application server and/or SQL Server using Microsoft's Bitlocker?
Answer
- Carbon Black has not tested the effect of encryting the application server or the database server using Bitlocker
- Microsoft engineers have informed us that there are no performance concerns from their perspective
- As long as Bitlocker does not cause performance degredation, there are no concerns
- Microsoft and Carbon Black both recommend stopping the CB Protection Server and any SQL Server services prior to encryption in order to speed up the initial process
