12.2.6 EBS - Encrypt employee bank account info in database
I've reviewed Doc ID 316457.1 on how to encrypt sensitive payroll data as well as other docs and it appears that the most recommended method is to use TDE column encryption.
I'm being asked about whether the bank routing and account number data fields in pay_external_accounts.segment3 and pay_external_accounts.segment4, respectively, are encrypted in the database and I can see with an SQL query that they are not.
There are warnings that encryption of fields could affect system performance and also cause issues on future patching. Has anyone encrypted these banking fields in the database? If so, what method did you use and what type of maintenance does it add in to managing the whole system?
