A company is storing sensitive customer information on Amazon S3. As a part of their security requirements, they need to ensure that the data is encrypted while it is being stored on S3. Which of the following options enables the company to meet this requirement?
Enable in-transit encryption for the S3 buckets
Enable S3 Server-Side Encryption (SSE) for the S3 buckets
Encrypt the data client-side before uploading it to S3
Use an SSL/TLS connection to transfer the data to S3
Amazon S3 provides server-side encryption capabilities for data at rest. This means that data is encrypted once it is stored on the disk within Amazon S3 services. S3 Server-Side Encryption (SSE) automatically encrypts the data when it is written to the disk and decrypts it for the user when they access it, making the process seamless. Client-side encryption refers to encrypting data before sending it to S3 which isn't specific to S3's capabilities. Using SSL/TLS during transfer and in-transit encryption protects data as it travels across the network but does not keep it encrypted at rest.
