Infrastructure and services to elevate your security in the cloud
Raise your security posture with AWS infrastructure and services.
Using AWS, you will gain the control and confidence you need to securely run your business with the most flexible and secure cloud computing environment available today. As an AWS customer, you will benefit from AWS data centers and a network architected to protect your information, identities, applications, and devices. With AWS, you can improve your ability to meet core security and compliance requirements, such as data locality, protection, and confidentiality with our comprehensive services and features.
AWS allows you to automate manual security tasks so you can shift your focus to scaling and innovating your business.

Build with the Highest Standards for Privacy and Data Security
AWS is vigilant about your privacy. With AWS you can build on the most secure

All data flowing across the AWS global network that interconnects our datacenters and regions is automatically encrypted at the physical layer before it leaves our secured facilities. Additional encryption layers exist as well; for example, all VPC cross-region peering traffic, and customer or service-to-service TLS connections.
