Data Protection State

Data Protection States

Swarm ensures comprehensive data protection across all states—in-transit, at-rest, and in-use—by leveraging advanced security technologies and protocols. Here’s how each state is protected:

State	Protection Method	Technology
In-Transit	Data is encrypted during transmission to prevent interception or tampering.	Mesh VPN encryption using WireGuard ensures secure and efficient communication.
At-Rest	Stored data is encrypted to protect against unauthorized access or physical theft.	Volume encryption with AES-256-GCM, providing robust encryption standards.
In-Use	Data is protected while being processed in memory, ensuring confidentiality even in shared environments.	Secure enclaves powered by Intel SGX or AMD SEV for hardware-based trusted execution environments.

Key Benefits

This multi-state protection approach ensures that data remains secure throughout its lifecycle, mitigating risks and maintaining compliance with stringent security and privacy standards. Swarm’s use of state-of-the-art technologies like WireGuard, AES-256, and secure enclaves reinforces trust and confidence in handling sensitive workloads.
