When you create a new file system, you can choose to enable encryption via the AWS Management Console or API. To encrypt your data, you can use the default EFS key automatically created in your account or a key you generated.
Encryption at rest is available at no additional cost in all Amazon EFS regions. Please visit here to see the full list of supported regions. AWS KMS usage is billed at standard rates.
