Question

A company is using an AWS Transfer Family server to migrate data from an on-premises environment to AWS. Company policy mandates the use of TLS 1.2 or above to encrypt the data in transit. Which solution will meet these requirements?

Options

  • AGenerate new SSH keys for the Transfer Family server. Make the old keys and the new keys
  • BUpdate the security group rules for the on-premises network to allow only connections that use
  • CUpdate the security policy of the Transfer Family server to specify a minimum protocol version of
  • DInstall an SSL certificate on the Transfer Family server to encrypt data transfers by using TLS 1.2.

Explanation

AWS Transfer Family supports configurable security policies that define which TLS protocol versions and cipher suites are allowed for FTPS/HTTPS connections. Updating the server's security policy to enforce a minimum of TLS 1.2 is the direct, purpose-built mechanism for this requirement. Option A (SSH key rotation) applies to SFTP, which uses SSH-not TLS-and is unrelated to TLS version enforcement. Option B (security group rules) operate at the network layer (IP/port) and cannot inspect or filter by TLS version. Option D is incorrect because AWS Transfer Family manages its own TLS certificates via ACM; you do not install certificates manually to control protocol version.
