A company has deployed a web application on Amazon EC2 instances. They want to ensure that the data stored on the instance's disk is protected against unauthorized access. Who is responsible for encrypting the data on the EC2 instances?
The customer is responsible for encrypting the data on the EC2 instances.
AWS provides the infrastructure for EC2 and is solely responsible for the data encryption on instances.
AWS automatically encrypts all data on EC2 instances by default.
The encryption keys are managed by AWS and the data encryption is a shared responsibility.
According to the AWS shared responsibility model, the customer is responsible for managing the security inside the cloud, which includes data encryption. While AWS is responsible for protecting the infrastructure that runs all of the services offered in the AWS Cloud, the customer is responsible for encrypting their data, managing encryption keys, and securing their EC2 instances.
