Enable your Apono connector to read a KMS-encrypted AWS secret
Your Apono connector can read AWS secrets encrypted with Key Management Service (KMS). KMS-encrypted secrets offer several benefits:
Enhance security with strong encryption
Easily manage access to secrets using Identity Access Management (IAM) and KMS key policies
Record who has accessed your secrets, and when, with KMS' built-in auditing
Meet regulatory and compliance requirements by leveraging KMS encryption for sensitive data
For more information on KMS encryption, see Amazon’s documentation.
