Encryption

Overview

UiPath® enforces encryption in transit and at rest. All communications inbound to Automation Cloud™ and between Automation Cloud services require at least TLS 1.2. Additionally, all data at rest is encrypted using Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) which leverages AES 256-bit encryption.

Beyond TDE, we also employ Application Layer Encryption (ALE) for certain services. Some services automatically incorporate ALE - we refer to this as "Implicit ALE". For other services, the use of ALE is optional and can be chosen by you - we refer to this as "Optional (Opt in) ALE", some services do not currently support ALE.

Application-Level Encryption (ALE)

For services with ALE, either implicit or opted in for, you have the ability to choose who handles the encryption key. It could be managed by either UiPath or yourself.

• UiPath-managed key:

  This option allows UiPath to create, store, and protect the keys used for encrypting your data.

  This is the default option, and it is automatically enabled in the Encryption tab of your Automation Cloud Admin section.

• Customer-managed key:

  This option grants you full control and responsibility over the creation, storage, and protection of the encryption keys used for safeguarding your data. Unlike the UiPath-managed key, where UiPath manages these tasks by default, with a customer-managed key (CMK), you directly handle these aspects in your own secure environment.

Encryption per Service

The specifics of the encryption for each service or resource can be found in the table below.

For more information about ALE with Customer-Managed Keys, and guidance on how to set it up, please visit our ALE with CMK documentation.

1 - The customer or their account teams must submit a ticket to enable ALE. The UiPath engineering team manages these requests, so please allow a few days for processing. Once we've enabled ALE, you can configure in the Admin section whether or not to use CMK.
