Encryption with Collector
Network traffic between the agents and the database can be encrypted by utilizing the Collector service, introduced in EventSentry v3.2. The collector supports secure TLS encryption between the agents and the collector, ensuring that data collected and transmitted by the agent cannot be intercepted by a third party.
Traffic between the collector and the respective database is not encrypted, as such it's recommended to install the collector on the database server or the same subnet as the database.

The following chapters contain instructions on how to encrypt SQL traffic between the EventSentry agents and the database server hosting the EventSentry database when the collector service is not being used.
