# Grafana Enterprise database encryption |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you are using Grafana Enterprise, you can change Grafana’s cryptographic mode of operation from AES-CFB to AES-GCM, and integrate with a key management system (KMS) provider. |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Changing your encryption mode to AES-GCM |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Grafana encrypts secrets using Advanced Encryption Standard in Cipher |
||||||
|
FeedBack mode (AES-CFB). You might prefer to use AES in Galois/Counter |
||||||
|
Mode (AES-GCM) instead, to meet your company’s security requirements or |
||||||
|
in order to maintain consistency with other services. |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To change your encryption mode, update the `algorithm` value in the |
||||||
|
`[security.encryption]` section of your Grafana configuration file. |
||||||
|
For details, refer to Enterprise configuration. |

# Grafana database encryption |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Grafana’s database contains secrets, which are used to query data sources, send alert notifications and perform other functions within Grafana. |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Grafana encrypts these secrets before they are written to the database, by using a symmetric-key encryption algorithm called Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), and using a [secret key]({{< relref "../administration/configuration/#secret_key" >}}) that you can change when you configure a new Grafana instance. |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You can also use envelope encryption, which complements a KMS integration by adding a layer of indirection to the encryption process. |
