Learn how to activate and configure Field Encryption and manage migration from Encryption Support.
<br />

[Activate Field Encryption](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/d~sW4JlJZpz95XWViCzI5w "Activate either Field Encryption Starter or Field Encryption Enterprise.")
:   Learn how to active either Field Encryption or Field Encryption Enterprise.

Roles Required for Configuring Field Encryption
:   Learn about the roles required to configure Field Encryption.

## Migration from encryption support {#configuring-column-level-encryption__section_c2g_hpc_r1c}

Use Scheduled jobs to migrate your keys and encrypted data from legacy Encryption Support to Field Encryption Enterprise. See details for this process at [Migrating to Field Encryption Enterprise](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/zKMiAfSH69XMiVszzmPYTw "Scheduled jobs migrate your keys and encrypted data from Encryption Support to Field Encryption Enterprise.")

## Change attachment encryption settings {#configuring-column-level-encryption__section_j1b_ptc_r1c}

Improve security by preventing users from attaching unencrypted files. For details, see [Prevent users from attaching unencrypted files](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/M0oseKv57WDOgZEzFL3TBA "Modify the com.glide.encryption.enable_attachment_key_ui property to prevent your users with access to an encryption module key from attaching unencrypted attachments.").

  Use cryptographic specifications to define the purpose, algorithm, key length, mode, and origin of your encryption key.
* **[Module keys for Field Encryption](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/8aBIewl9gkP4Y5BSPuWU9A)**   
  The Module Keys tab shows you summary level information about your Field Encryption Data Encryption Key(s). You can view the Key alias, Key type, Algorithm, Key lifecycle state, and Key version.
* **[Module lifecycle policy exceptions for Field Encryption](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/WapLBcQR9HFwgeUsYI9OrQ)**   
  Use module lifecycle policy exceptions to customize the lifecycle of your module keys.
* **[Configure Customer-supplied keys for Field Encryption Enterprise](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/GY0Ufu_m8ZsV2CFOha7sJQ)**   
  Bring your own data encryption key to the platform instead of using the one that ServiceNow generates.
* **[Configure encrypted field configurations for fields or attachments](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/Vfqc~ad_5QAedPgWtXd6jg)**   
  Create an encrypted field configuration to specify which fields are encrypted on a table, and whether that table's attachments are encrypted.
* **[Configure multi-module encrypted field configurations](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/_wDtKgN8vsnKB74nQGaPYg)**
