IBM Security Guardium Data Encryption - Anyway to encrypt the files faster with LDT

Question & Answer


Question

I recently installed CTE with LDT on a Windows 2019 server to protect a CIFS share. The initial guard process went well, and all files were encrypted.
During testing, I created a new text file in the protected guardpoint and noticed that it was not instantly encrypted. It took around one hour for LDT to encrypt it.

Is this expected behavior? Is there a way to make the encryption of new files happen faster?
