ConsumersHalt (CH) is an Indian department collection chain.
There are 63 branches across 32 towns in India, with clothing, accessories, bags, shoes, jewelry, scents, faces, health and exquisiteness products, home furnishing and decor products. CH runs their existing infrastructure out of AWS and inviting AWS engineers to understand the end to end architecture of the solution.
The meeting was scheduled with the AWS meeting and AWS teams shared lot of artifacts for users to understand.
Internally the team is preparing presentation to the security team since they need to present Redshift end to end security features Please advise whether the options listed above helps administrators to present their solution to security team. Select 3 options.

A. B. C. D. E.Answer : B, C and E.
Option A is incorrect -cluster encryption encrypts the data in all user-created tables, and can be enabled when cluster is launched.
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/redshift/latest/dg/c_security-overview.htmlOption B is correct -users inbound access to an Amazon Redshift cluster, you define a cluster security group and associate it with a cluster.
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/redshift/latest/dg/c_security-overview.htmlOption C is correct -To control access to specific Amazon Redshift resources, define AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) accounts.
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/redshift/latest/dg/c_security-overview.htmlOption D is incorrect -To control access to specific Amazon Redshift resources, define AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) accounts.
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/redshift/latest/dg/c_security-overview.htmlOption E is correct.
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/redshift/latest/dg/c_security-overview.htmlThe question is related to Redshift end to end security features which are essential for administrators to present their solution to the security team. There are five options provided, out of which the three options that help administrators to present their solution to the security team are:
A. Users inbound access to an Amazon Redshift cluster can be managed through cluster encryption.
Cluster encryption in Amazon Redshift is used to encrypt data on disk and in transit. By enabling cluster encryption, the data is encrypted with an industry-standard AES-256 algorithm. This feature can be used to secure the data against unauthorized access and protect it from data breaches or theft. By presenting this option to the security team, administrators can show how they are securing the data within the Redshift cluster.
B. Users inbound access to an Amazon Redshift cluster can be managed through security groups.
Security groups are used to control inbound traffic to an Amazon Redshift cluster. With security groups, administrators can control which IP addresses or EC2 instances can access the Redshift cluster. Administrators can define inbound rules in a security group to allow or deny traffic based on the IP addresses or EC2 instances. This feature can be presented to the security team to show how administrators are controlling the access to Redshift cluster based on the security group rules.
C. Access Management to Amazon Redshift cluster can be managed through IAM.
IAM (Identity and Access Management) is used to manage access to Amazon Redshift resources. With IAM, administrators can create users and groups, and assign policies to control access to Redshift resources. IAM policies can be used to grant permissions to users or groups to perform specific actions on Redshift clusters, such as creating or deleting clusters, modifying cluster settings, and more. This feature can be presented to the security team to show how administrators are managing access to Redshift resources through IAM policies.
The remaining two options that do not help administrators to present their solution to the security team are:
D. Access Management to Amazon Redshift cluster can be managed through Redshift security module.
This option is incorrect as there is no such thing as a "Redshift security module." Access management to Amazon Redshift cluster can be managed through IAM policies.
E. Encryption can be enabled for data in transit, data loaded, cluster and SSL connections.
This option is partially correct. Encryption can indeed be enabled for data in transit and data loaded into a Redshift cluster. However, encryption for cluster and SSL connections is not a feature of Redshift. SSL can be used to secure the connections between Redshift and the clients, but it is not encryption for the cluster itself. Hence, this option does not help administrators to present their solution to the security team.
