+### -DatabaseConnectionEncryption
+Specifies whether TLS encryption is used for the connection between SharePoint and the database.
+Mandatory requires that TLS encryption is used. If TLS encryption can't be successfully negotiated, the connection will fail.
+Optional allows TLS encryption to be used. If the database server requires TLS encryption, then TLS encryption will be used. Otherwise, TLS encryption will not be used.
+Strict requires that TLS encryption is used with TDS 8.0, which is the strongest encryption configuration. If TLS encryption with TDS 8.0 can't be successfully negotiated, the connection will fail.
+Databases mounted to SharePoint before the Version 24H2 feature update was installed default to Optional encryption. If this parameter is not specified when mounting a new database to SharePoint after the Version 24H2 feature update is installed, the default is Mandatory.
