Agent security during data transfer

Unknown

Im working with a client to get a green-light on installing the Decisions agent to facilitate file transfer between a Decisions server and a remote database server.
Some of the information we’ll be sending is sensitive, and I need to verify that transferring data is secure in this scenario.

Is the data encrypted in transport via SSL or some other security protocol?
