Description: KMS (Key Management Service) is a managed service that facilitates the creation and control of encryption keys used to encrypt your data. This service is fundamental in protecting sensitive information, as it allows organizations to securely manage the keys that protect their data at rest and in transit. KMS provides a simple interface for creating, storing, and rotating keys, ensuring that only authorized users have access to them. Additionally, it easily integrates with various cloud services, allowing companies to implement robust security policies and comply with data protection regulations. The ability to audit key usage and establish granular access policies are key features that make KMS an essential tool in any organization’s data security strategy. In a Zero Trust environment, where threats are assumed to be both inside and outside the network, KMS plays a crucial role in ensuring that encryption keys are always protected and that access to data is strictly controlled.
