Summary

Changed 'Index level encryption' section header to 'Node-to-node encryption' under Data protection

Security assessment

Node-to-node encryption is a security feature that protects data in transit between cluster nodes. While this change documents a security feature, there's no evidence it addresses a specific security vulnerability. The modification appears to improve accuracy of security documentation rather than respond to a security incident.
