Cloud Storage encryption is a feature that Google Cloud Storage offers to protect your data from unauthorized access. When you create a new storage bucket, we encrypt your data with a password.
We then store the encrypted data in a physically secure data center. You can access your data with the same password regardless of where it is located.
PRO TIP: Google Cloud Storage is not encrypted by default. This means that any data stored in Google Cloud Storage is vulnerable to being accessed and read by unauthorized individuals. To protect your data, you should consider encrypting it before uploading it to Google Cloud Storage.
To ensure the security of your data, we also periodically check the data center against known threats. If we detect any suspicious activity, we notify you and take appropriate steps to protect your data.
So, yes, Google Cloud Storage is encrypted.
