<p>Good breakdown. The important point is that database encryption is not a single checkbox, it is a control plane: TLS for transport, encryption at rest for storage exposure, backup encryption, and strict key management. The weak link is almost never the cipher itself, it is usually where the keys live, how rotation is handled, and whether clients are actually forced to use encrypted channels. Encryption without lifecycle discipline is just expensive decoration.</p>
