Transparent Data Encryption Inside and Out In SQL 2012

We have many tools to make data more secure, and starting in SQL 2008 we were able to add Transparent Data Encryption to that list. Find out what it does and what it doesn't do, how it affects Read-Only Filegroups, Performance, Compression (Backup and Row/Page), what the X.509 encryption standard is and why you should be careful of what you store and where, and other advanced features as well as some tips on how to manage it.
