6. Architected for Enterprise
Security Requirements
“The Amazon Virtual Private Cloud
[Amazon VPC] was a unique option that
offered an additional level of security and
an ability to integrate with other aspects of
our infrastructure.”
Dr. Michael Miller, Head of HPC for R&D
You might have questions about security in the cloud, but our biggest and most conservative customers have found that we’re able to meet their security requirements, and often we can provide a better security profile than what they can deliver internally. Our focus and investment in security, and the fact that we incorporate requirements from our most security conscious customers which then benefit all of the customers on our platform allows us to offer an effective approach to meeting enterprise security requirements. We encourage you to dig deeper with our security white paper, and would be happy to help you get the information you need to feel confident in our security capabilities and options.
There’s a shared responsibility to accomplish security and compliance objectives in AWS cloud. There are some elements that AWS takes responsibility for, and others that the customer must address. The outcome of the collaborative approach is positive results seen by customers around the world.
