A guardpoint manages access to a single Workspace with an encryption key. You set a guardpoint as part of the encryption process to create additional security layer. You should generate a guardpoint for each Workspace. 

  • Keys are used to encrypt data and keys should be updated (rotated) at a regular interval to comply with your company's security policy.
  • The purpose of key rotation is to retire an encryption key and replace it with a recently-generated, cryptographic key.
