5.3 Design and implement controls to manage the lifecycle of data at rest. - In this episode, we explore the essential strategies for AWS Engineers to design and implement robust controls for managing the lifecycle of data at rest, a key component of the AWS Certified Security - Specialty SCS-C02 exam. We discuss how effective lifecycle management mitigates risks such as compliance violations and excessive storage costs by automating the transition, retention, and deletion of data across AWS services like S3, EBS, and RDS. Listeners will gain insights into configuring lifecycle policies and understanding regulatory standards such as GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI DSS, ensuring their AWS data meets legal and industry requirements while maintaining security and auditability. The episode covers technical skills like crafting S3 Object Locks, automating snapshots, and leveraging AWS Backup to enforce immutability, retention, and disaster recovery plans. We also break down the implementation of automated lifecycle management across multiple AWS services, highlighting the benefits of centralized controls and cost optimization. By mastering these controls, AWS Engineers can build resilient, compliant, and cost-effective data protection frameworks that scale seamlessly with business and regulatory demands.
