AWS Key Management Service (KMS)

AWS Key Management Service (KMS) is a secure, cloud-based tool that helps organizations create, control, and store encryption keys used to protect sensitive data. Think of these keys as digital locks, ensuring only authorized users or applications can access or decrypt your information. KMS manages the entire lifecycle of keys—generation, storage, rotation, and deletion—while integrating seamlessly with other AWS services. This simplifies the process of maintaining data security and compliance, allowing users to safeguard their data effectively without managing complex security infrastructure themselves.
