Hi renrutal, Pascal from Airy here. Encryption is a very important topic for us. Since in all our versions all of the data resides in Apache Kafka and is only exposed via Kafka Streams Apps we are able to take advantage of Kafkas SSL encryption. For encryption-at-rest we use our cloud providers disk encryption. We also support Open ID Connect as an identity layer so we can focus on improving our platform and be assured that our authentication is always up to date and secure. You raise a good point though and we will continue innovating to make encryption accessible to everyone.

Is that E2E, though? I'm not Kafka-knowledgeable, but that sounds like it's encrypted as it gets to your servers and encrypted as it rests on them -- not encrypted all the way between people sending messages.
