Which AWS service can a company use to securely store and encrypt passwords for a database?
AWS Shield
AWS Secrets Manager
AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM)
Amazon Cognito
Explanations:
AWS Shield provides DDoS protection for applications but does not handle secure storage of secrets.
AWS Secrets Manager is specifically designed for securely storing, managing, and retrieving database credentials, API keys, and other secrets.
AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) manages user permissions and access policies but does not store or encrypt passwords.
Amazon Cognito provides user sign-up, sign-in, and access control for web and mobile apps, not specifically for securely storing database credentials.
I infer that the answer is:
AWS Secrets Manager
