Security in the cloud for your data center and network architecture

Scale safely and efficiently.

Securing cloud environments is a top priority for organizations worldwide. With AWS® cloud security, you benefit from a data centre and network architecture built to meet the requirements of even the most security-sensitive organizations.

With the strong features in AWS cloud security, your organization is empowered to scale and innovate while maintaining a secure cloud environment at all times. AWS gives your organization more control, increased privacy and lower costs and enables you to:

  • Store data safely.

Compliance features and benefits

AWS compliance ties together governance-focused, audit-friendly services with applicable security compliance regulations and audit standards — empowering any organization to operate within an AWS security control environment.

The AWS shared responsibility model gives users the power to decide which security features to implement in order to protect their content, platforms, applications, systems and networks, exactly as they would in an on-site data centre.

  • Data-encryption capabilities
  • AWS Key Management Service
  • AWS CloudHSM
