## Data protection and encryption
The Windows Defender ATP service utilizes state of the art data protection technologies which are based on Microsoft Azure infrastructure.
There are various aspects relevant to data protection that our service takes care of. Encryption is one of the most critical and it includes data encryption at rest, encryption in flight, and key management with Key Vault. For more information on other technologies used by the Windows Defender ATP service, see [Azure encryption overview](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/security/security-azure-encryption-overview).
In all scenarios, data is encrypted using 256-bit [AES encyption](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Encryption_Standard) at the minimum.

This provides a convenient way to minimize compliance risk by actively selecting the geographic locations where your data will reside. Microsoft will not under any circumstance, transfer the data from the specified geolocation into another geolocation.
