Correct Answer

(1) Security groups are used to control access to the database instance

(2) VPC can be used to isolate your database from internet traffic

(3) Connections to the database can be secured using SSL

Explanation

Connections to the database are secured using HTTPS, which implements SSL. VPCs provide the greatest possible network access control. Security groups are used to control access to your database.

Data is NOT encrypted using 256-bit RC6 algorithms in Amazon RDS. Instead 256-bit AES algorithms are used. Amazon Cognito does not control who can access the database instance in Amazon RDS.
