Benefits

Keeping Security Level at Scale

AWS offers complete control of your data location, access, and resources in use. Fine-grained access controls are combined with continuous monitoring; this enables your company to have near real-time security information about your sensitive data.

As your company's infrastructure scales up, it becomes harder to control the security across all systems. AWS's security automation and activity monitoring services help you detect suspicious security events as you scale up. You are always able to satisfy the security level across all systems.

Automation as a Crucial Part of Cloud Security

Automation of your manual security tasks is crucial for keeping security levels in the AWS cloud. Human configuration errors are eliminated, giving your team more time to focus on other work critical to your business. Infrastructure and application security checks can be automated to enforce security and compliance controls continually.

Highest Standards of Privacy and Data Security

AWS is known for its strong customer privacy and data security. A world-class team of security experts monitors AWS systems 24x7.

All data flowing over the AWS global network is encrypted at the physical layer. Various AWS tools help you easily encrypt your data in transit and at rest to ensure proper control. AWS encryption keys are managed by AWS Key Management System (KMS), while your encryption keys can be managed with CloudHSM using FIPS 140-2 Level 3 validated HSMs.

Strict data privacy laws and regulations are easily satisfied with AWS's superior control and visibility features designed to comply with regional and local laws and regulations.
