Just wanted to get some idea from the folks here regarding Elasticsearch data encryption. So, I am aware about 2 ways we can get our data encrypt in Elasticsearch:- 1. Using some encyption/tokenization on data before ingesting data in Elasticsearch 2. Use some OS level encryption TDE (Transparent Data Encryption). Would like to know, Is there any other type of in-built encryption which Elasticsearch provides? Today, What is that, the big companies rely on, to get their data protected inside Elasticsearch? Thanks in advance! ---

No, AFAIK there is no index level encryption. It's not related to Elastic, there is other issues below like Lucene. Check [here](https://itecnote.com/tecnote/adding-encryption-to-solr-lucene-indexes/) especially LUCENE-6966, read about performances. Disclaimer: I'm not Elastic employee so consider this as info, not the official response. ---
