You be the judge… Essentially, all are targeted at data-and-objects-at-rest, rather than in-motion (except, perhaps the new cross-region replication feature with KMS).
Regardless, all of the annouced new features are welcome (in my currently rather jaded opinion). Now, if we can just overcome human error (not to mention blatant developer and data-owner lack-of-attention-to-detail, read about that here)…

With the recent retirement of former Information Assurance Directorate head Curtis Dukes, a renown computer scientist and intelligence community icon, Pitelli took on an increased role in an ever important effort to ensure that the Defense Department and broader government […]
