Amazon Redshift Introduces New Security Measures
/ 1 min read
🔒✨ Amazon Redshift implements new security measures to prevent data breaches. In response to past incidents of data exposure, Amazon Web Services (AWS) has announced significant security enhancements for its Redshift data warehousing solution. The updates include restricting public access by default, enabling encryption for all clusters, and enforcing secure SSL connections. These changes aim to minimize risks associated with misconfigurations and insecure settings, which have previously led to major breaches, such as the Medibank ransomware incident. While the new defaults will apply to newly created clusters, AWS advises existing users to review and update their configurations to align with these enhancements and avoid potential disruptions. Customers can find further guidance in the online ‘Management Guide’ or by contacting AWS Support.
