This article describes the **procedure to integrate Fortanix Filesystem Encryption (FSE)** on **Linux** using **Fortanix-Data-Security-Manager (DSM)** with **PostgreSQL**. It describes how to configure PostgreSQL to store database files on an encrypted filesystem, enabling secure storage of database data.

*For more information, refer to*[*Filesystem Encryption for Linux Using Fortanix Data Security Manager - Integration with PostgreSQL*](https://fortanix.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/49615322841492-Filesystem-Encryption-for-Linux-Using-Fortanix-Data-Security-Manager-Integration-with-PostgreSQL)*.*

Fortanix Data Security Manager (DSM) is the world’s first cloud service secured with Intel® SGX. With Fortanix DSM, you can securely generate, store, and use cryptographic keys and certificates, as well as other secrets such as passwords, API keys, tokens, or any blob of data. Your business-critical applications and containers can integrate with Fortanix DSM using legacy cryptographic interfaces (PKCS#11, CNG, and JCE) or using the native Fortanix DSM RESTful interface.
