# Redshift Serverless namespaces should be encrypted with a customer-managed KMS key
 
## Description{% #description %}

Redshift Serverless namespaces should be encrypted using a customer-managed KMS key rather than the default AWS-managed key. Customer-managed keys provide full control over key rotation policies, access permissions via KMS key policies, and the ability to revoke or disable the key.

## Remediation{% #remediation %}

Configure the namespace to use a customer-managed KMS key. For guidance, refer to [Data protection in Amazon Redshift Serverless](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/redshift/latest/mgmt/serverless-security.html).
