Overview AWS Storage Gateway is a powerful service that connects on-premises environments with scalable cloud storage, forming a critical component of many hybrid cloud strategies. While AWS provides default encryption for data at rest, relying on these provider-managed keys introduces significant gaps in security control, auditability, and data sovereignty. True data governance requires moving beyond […]

Overview As organizations transition from on-premises tape libraries to hybrid cloud solutions, AWS Storage Gateway provides a vital link, allowing businesses to replace physical infrastructure with durable virtual tapes stored in the AWS cloud. While this move unlocks significant operational efficiencies, it also introduces critical new considerations for data-at-rest encryption. A common but dangerous oversight […]

Overview AWS Storage Gateway is a powerful service that bridges on-premises infrastructure with the scalability and durability of AWS cloud storage. While it provides default encryption for data at rest, relying on these basic settings can introduce significant security and governance gaps. The default configuration uses AWS-managed keys, which offers a baseline level of protection […]
