How can you enhance the security of data stored on EBS volumes?
Securing Data at Rest and in Transit
Data protection for EBS volumes is primarily achieved through encryption and restricted access. AWS provides native integration with KMS (Key Management Service) to handle volume encryption seamlessly.
EBS Security Enhancements
Enable Amazon EBS encryption at rest using AWS KMS keys.
Ensure encryption in transit between the EC2 instance and the EBS volume.
Use EBS Snapshots for backups and ensure snapshots are also encrypted.
Implement IAM policies to restrict who can attach, detach, or delete volumes.
Use 'Encryption by Default' at the region level to ensure all new volumes are secured.
