AWS services for data encryption and security monitoring
Previously, we discussed common data protection concepts, such as data encryption. Now, we will look at some of the AWS services that can be used to help protect and secure our data.
AWS Key Management Service (KMS)
AWS KMS simplifies the process of creating and managing security keys for encrypting and decrypting data in AWS. The AWS KMS service is a core service in the AWS ecosystem, enabling users to easily manage data encryption across several AWS services.
There are a large number of AWS services that can work with AWS KMS to enable data encryption, including the following AWS analytical services:
- Amazon AppFlow
- Amazon Athena
- Amazon EMR
- Amazon Kinesis Data Streams/Kinesis Firehose/Kinesis Video Streams
- Amazon Managed Streaming for Kafka (MSK)
- Amazon Managed Workflows for Apache Airflow (MWAA)
- Amazon Redshift
- Amazon S3
- AWS Data Migration Service (DMS)
- AWS Glue/Glue DataBrew...
