AWS EndSeal: Secure Your Amazon Elastic Block Store Volumes with Encryption

EndSeal is a feature in AWS that allows you to secure your Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) volumes with encryption. It provides an additional layer of security by encrypting the data on your EBS volumes, making it more difficult for unauthorized users to access your data.

EndSeal works by using the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) 256-bit encryption algorithm to protect your data. When you enable EndSeal on an EBS volume, all data written to the volume is encrypted, and all read operations are decrypted before being returned to the application. This means that even if an attacker gains access to your EBS volume, they will not be able to read or modify the data without the proper decryption key.

EndSeal is especially useful in scenarios where you need to store sensitive data, such as financial information, personal identifiable information (PII), or other confidential data. By using EndSeal, you can help ensure that your data remains secure and protected from unauthorized access.
