Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From Exact Extract of Amazon Web Services (AWS) Architect documents:

To secure data in transit, the company should use AWS Certificate Manager (ACM) to provide SSL/TLS certificates for the Application Load Balancer. ACM allows easy provisioning, management, and renewal of public and private certificates, ensuring secure communication between users and applications.

To secure data at rest, AWS Key Management Service (KMS) is used to manage encryption keys for Amazon EBS volumes. EBS integrates with AWS KMS, allowing for server-side encryption using KMS-managed keys (SSE-KMS), thus meeting the encryption at rest requirement.

Other options:

GuardDuty (A) is for threat detection, not encryption.

AWS Shield (B) protects against DDoS attacks, not encryption.

Secrets Manager (D) manages credentials, not general data encryption.

This solution follows the AWS Well-Architected Framework – Security Pillar.
