Data encryption in Amazon EFS - Amazon Elastic File System

Data encryption in Amazon EFS

Amazon EFS provides comprehensive encryption capabilities to protect your data both at rest and in transit.

  • Encryption at rest – Encrypts data stored on your file system.

  • Encryption in transit – Encrypts data as it travels between your clients and the file system.

If your organization is subject to corporate or regulatory policies that require encryption of data and metadata, we recommend creating a file system that is encrypted at rest and mounting your file system using encryption of data in transit.
