Amazon Quick Research now enables customers to encrypt their data using customer-managed keys (CMK) through AWS Key Management Service (KMS). This enhancement allows organizations with strict security and compliance requirements to manage their own encryption keys. With customer-managed keys, you gain enhanced security control and comprehensive audit capabilities through AWS CloudTrail integration. You can encrypt your data with your own KMS keys, trace all data access for security auditing, and revoke access to compromised keys within 15 minutes during security incidents. This feature support
