Regarding Data encryption

I want the explanation for the following questions in a document which explains how this is implemented in ServiceNow ?
1. How the ServiceNow data is managed at storage ?  Is that all encrypted ? How the encryption is handled ?

2. How the data is encrypted from end to end and also in transit ?

1. ServiceNow offers three types of data-at-rest encryption upon customer request—

  • column-level encryption,
  • edge encryption, and
  • full disk encryption

—although not all of these are enabled by default.

Refer: Data Encryption white paper

Refer this KB, you will get whitepaper links: KB2331286 Data encryption at rest options in ServiceNow 

 

2. Data in transit between the customer and ServiceNow is protected with TLS 1.2 .  Check this doc (page 7)

1. How the ServiceNow data is managed at storage ? Is that all encrypted ? How the encryption is handled ? -> full disk encryption is by default available as free for all instances

2. How the data is encrypted from end to end and also in transit ? -> It's handled by TLS
