AWS invests heavily in the security of their services to help companies in the cloud, or moving to the cloud, take advantage of numerous benefits such as variable operating expense, flexibility, scalability, and security in the cloud.
Organizations looking to migrate or build new cloud applications can leverage the work AWS has put into PCI DSS, FedRAMP®, HITRUST CSF, DoD SRG, and HIPAA Security Rule. While AWS is responsible for the security of the cloud, their clients are responsible for security in the cloud. AWS’s work to protect the cloud enables clients to focus on securing the data they put into the cloud.
