Summary:
- AWS, a leading cloud computing service, is discontinuing its Server-Side Encryption with Customer-Provided Keys (SSE-C) feature. This means customers will no longer be able to use their own encryption keys to secure their data on AWS.
- The removal of SSE-C could create a potential vulnerability for companies, as it could make their data more susceptible to ransomware attacks. Ransomware is a type of malware that encrypts data and demands a ransom payment to restore access.
- Experts recommend that AWS customers explore alternative encryption solutions, such as using their own key management systems or exploring other cloud providers, to ensure the security of their data in the face of this change.
