#Create a Security Profile

To create a security profile, complete the steps below:

1. Navigate to Control Panel > Security Profile.

2. Click Create. The Create a New Security Profile interface appears.

3. Enter a Name and optional Description for the security profile.

4. Encryption Method – Select the encryption method and encryption key length to be used in the encryption.

   • Specify an encryption method – Select an encryption method.

   • Encryption Key Length(bit) – Select the key length of the encryption.

5. Encryption Key/Key from Azure Key Vault – Choose to automatically generate the encryption key, generate an encryption key from a custom seed, or use a key generated from Azure Key Vault.

   • Automatically generate an Encryption key – AvePoint Cloud Management will generate a randomized key for you.

   • Generate Encryption Key from seed – Select this option to have AvePoint Cloud Management generate a key based on the seed you enter. If you choose this method, enter a seed into the Seed text box and then enter the same seed into the Confirm seed text box.

   • Use the Key Generated from Azure Key Vault – Select this option and then select an encryption profile configured in AvePoint Online Services from the Key Vault Security Profile drop-down list.

     *Note: If an encryption profile is used to encrypt data, this profile will also be used to decrypt data. To decrypt the encrypted data successfully, make sure the encryption profile still exists in AvePoint Online Services and the Azure Key Vault used for the encryption is available.

6. Click OK to save these configurations and return to the Security Profile interface, or click Cancel to return to the Security Profile interface without saving these configurations.
