AWS Certified Security Specialty SCS-C02 Practice Test

Amazon DynamoDB Encryption is specifically designed to encrypt table data before it is sent to the DynamoDB service. This encryption mechanism operates seamlessly, ensuring that data is encrypted at rest and in transit. When you create a DynamoDB table, you can enable encryption, which protects the data using advanced encryption standards, such as AES-256.

By using this service, organizations can ensure compliance with various security and data protection regulations. It automatically encrypts all user data, including attributes in items, and maintains strict access controls to ensure only authorized users can interact with the encrypted data. This built-in encryption capability helps safeguard sensitive information and provides peace of mind, allowing developers and businesses to focus on building applications without having to manage encryption manually.

The other choices focus on encryption related to different services and contexts, which do not apply directly to the specific task of encrypting data being sent to DynamoDB.
