Learn how to create and manage your own encryption keys with Reltio Shield.

You can obtain Reltio Shield as an add-on subscription to your Reltio Connected Data Platform Subscription. Reltio Shield is supported on the Amazon Web Services (AWS) platform. Shield uses transparent file data encryption using Customer-Managed Key (CMK) to protect your data. For more information, see topic Authenticate with Reltio Shield.

By default, Reltio creates and manages the encryption key for your tenant. If you prefer, you can create and manage these keys yourself using the Reltio Shield.

To access Reltio Shield:

1. In the Reltio Console, under the Tenant Management section, select Shield Encryption. You’ll see the Shield Encryption page.
