Question 84 - SCS-C01 discussion

Report
Export


A company has decided to migrate sensitive documents from on-premises data centers to Amazon S3. Currently, the hard drives are encrypted to meet a compliance requirement regarding data encryption. The CISO wants to improve security by encrypting each file using a different key instead of a single key. Using a different key would limit the security impact of a single exposed key. Which of the following requires the LEAST amount of configuration when implementing this approach?

A.
Place each file into a different S3 bucket. Set the default encryption of each bucket to use a different AWS KMS customer managed key.
Answers
A.
Place each file into a different S3 bucket. Set the default encryption of each bucket to use a different AWS KMS customer managed key.
B.
Put all the files in the same S3 bucket. Using S3 events as a trigger, write an AWS Lambda function to encrypt each file as it is added using different AWS KMS data keys.

C.
Use the S3 encryption client to encrypt each file individually using S3-generated data keys
Answers
C.
Use the S3 encryption client to encrypt each file individually using S3-generated data keys
D.
Place all the files in the same S3 bucket. Use server-side encryption with AWS KMS-managed keys(SSE-KMS) to encrypt the data
Answers
D.
Place all the files in the same S3 bucket. Use server-side encryption with AWS KMS-managed keys(SSE-KMS) to encrypt the data
Suggested answer: D

Explanation:

References:

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/serv-side-encryption.htmlServer-Side Encryption with Amazon S3-Managed Keys (SSE-S3) When you use Server-SideEncryption with Amazon S3-Managed Keys (SSE-S3), each object is encrypted with a unique key.

Server-Side Encryption with Customer Master Keys (CMKs) Stored in AWS Key Management Service

(SSE-KMS) is similar to SSE-S3, but with some additional benefits and charges for using this service.

When you use SSE-KMS to protect your data without an S3 Bucket Key, Amazon S3 uses an individual AWS KMS data key for every object. It makes a call to AWS KMS every time a request is made against a KMS-encrypted object. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/bucket-key.html
