Event Endpoint Management continues to be enhanced

Event Endpoint Management continues to be available and enhanced as part of IBM's integration platforms.

End of Marketing announcement for IBM Event Automation

Event Streams and Event Processing are deprecated and no enhancements will be provided. Support and security fixes will be provided in line with published support lifecycle policies. Future event-driven solutions that make use of Apache Kafka and Apache Flink will be delivered by IBM Confluent.

For more information, see the support lifecycle transition and software ordering completion announcement.

Attention: This version of Event Streams has reached End of Support. For more information about supported versions, see the support matrix.

Encrypting your data

The following encryption is always provided in Event Streams:

  • Network connections into the Event Streams deployment from external clients are secured using TLS.
  • Kafka replication between brokers is also TLS encrypted.

Consider the following for encryption as well:

  • Internal Kafka listeners can be configured with or without encryption as described in configuring access.
  • The REST producer endpoint can be configured with or without encryption as described in configuring access.

In addition, you can supplement the existing data encryption with disk encryption where supported by your chosen storage provider. You can also encrypt messages within your applications before producing them.
