securing a cluster can have multiple meanings, and encryption would be a valid one. So I think the question was misleading and have corrected that.For me there is a difference between "securing clustering" as in the question and "securing a cluster", but who cares. 😀
Well, if my database is nice and secure - protected from attack - and making a failover cluster for it would open it to attack, I would class eliminating that vulnerability before creating the cluster as securing clustering - of course it's also securing the cluster, so in at least some cases the two things can mean the same.
