Abstract
The techniques described herein use an edge device to manage the security for a data stream being ingested by a tenant and a cloud platform. The creation of the data stream for ingestion occurs in an environment that is trusted by a tenant (e.g., an on-premises enterprise network). The cloud platform that is part of the data stream ingestion process is outside this trusted environment, and thus, the tenant loses an element of security when ingesting data streams for cloud storage and/or cloud processing. Accordingly, the edge device is configured on a trust boundary so that the data stream ingestion process associated with a cloud platform is secured, or trusted by the tenant. The edge device is configured to encrypt the data stream using a data encryption key and/or manage the protection of the data encryption key.
