AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate SAA-C03 Practice Question

When dealing with sensitive customer information, especially within the financial sector, ensuring data is encrypted at rest is crucial to meet industry compliance standards. Using server-side encryption with managed keys ensures the data is automatically encrypted before being saved to the storage solution and decrypted only when accessed by an authorized request. This method provides robust security that is compliant with regulations without imposing the significant overhead and complexity that comes with managing the encryption process on the client's side. While using other methods like SSH for file transfers or enabling multi-factor authentication provides a layer of security for data in transit or access control, they do not meet the requirement for encryption at rest on the storage platform.
