Export

A company is running an application that uses an Amazon ElastiCache for Redis cluster as a caching layer A recent security audit revealed that the company has configured encryption at rest for ElastiCache However the company did not configure ElastiCache to use encryption in transit Additionally, users can access the cache without authentication

A solutions architect must make changes to require user authentication and to ensure that the company is using end-to-end encryption

Which solution will meet these requirements?

Suggested answer: B

Explanation:

Creating an AUTH token and storing it in AWS Secrets Manager and configuring the existing cluster to use the AUTH token and configure encryption in transit, and updating the application to retrieve the AUTH token from Secrets Manager when necessary and to use the AUTH token for authentication, would meet the requirements for user authentication and end-to-end encryption.

AWS Secrets Manager is a service that enables you to easily rotate, manage, and retrieve database credentials, API keys, and other secrets throughout their lifecycle. Secrets Manager also enables you to encrypt the data and ensure that only authorized users and applications can access it.

By configuring the existing cluster to use the AUTH token and encryption in transit, all data will be encrypted as it is sent over the network, providing additional security for the data stored in ElastiCache.

Additionally, by updating the application to retrieve the AUTH token from Secrets Manager when necessary and to use the AUTH token for authentication, it ensures that only authorized users and applications can access the cache.
