I am of the opinion that if you buy TDE you should use probably use it on all tablespaces. When you really consider it most business data is sensitive. Most of the data may not need access within the company restricted, but you would not want your competition or a hacker to have access so encrypting the disk version makes business sense.

Make sure management and developers understand use of TDE in no way excuses lack of control of the object level privileges.

Subject: Re: Oracle TDE Question

A valid question here is if your organization has previously gone through the exercise of identifying PII. Should this be the case than it is known which objects should utilize the encrypted tablespaces. In interest of time, is it prudent to enable TDE on all tablespaces? That said overall overhead Oracle says is 6%-8% with TDE.

When you use Oracle TDE (with the appropriate licenses of course), is it supported to have both non-encrypted tablespaces and encrypted tablespaces in the same database, correct?

If it's not I'd be surprised but wanted to confirm.

Thanks!
