AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) — Question 157

A company needs to transfer data between an Amazon S3 bucket and an on-premises application.

Who is responsible for the security of this data, according to the AWS shared responsibility model?

Answer options

• A. The company
• B. AWS
• C. Firewall vendor
• D. AWS Marketplace partner

Correct answer: A

Explanation

According to the AWS shared responsibility model, the customer is responsible for the security of their data, including data transfers. AWS provides the infrastructure and services, but the onus of securing data lies with the company using the services. The other options do not have responsibility for securing the customer's data in this context.
