Users can view and edit data protected with Edge Encryption within their
mobile device. The data appears in readable form on the mobile device but is encrypted in the
database.

ServiceNow®
Edge Encryption encrypts sensitive data on your company premises before sending it
over the Internet to your instance (encrypted in flight). This encrypted data is then stored and
protected within your database (encrypted at rest).

The diagram shows an example of how Edge Encryption operates within the mobile platform. A
field is configured and protected with Edge Encryption. When the user enters a value
in an encrypted field on the mobile device, it remains in a readable format. However, in the
database, the value is displayed as an encrypted value.
