AWS Verified Access, a service that helps you provide secure VPN-less access to your corporate applications, now offers Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 140-2 validated endpoints to help you protect sensitive information. These endpoints terminate Transport Layer Security (TLS) sessions using a FIPS 140-2 validated cryptographic software module, making it easier for you to use Verified Access for regulated workloads. Companies contracting with the US and Canadian federal governments can now meet the FIPS security requirement to encrypt sensitive data in these Regions.
To use this new capability, select the FIPS endpoint option when creating a Verified Access instance and all Verified Access endpoints will only use FIPS compliant encryption.
FIPS 140-2 compliant endpoints for AWS Verified Access are available in US East (N. Virginia), US East (Ohio), US West (N. California), US West (Oregon), and Canada (Central) Regions. To learn more, visit the AWS Verified Access product page and view the user guide on FIPS endpoints. Use the AWS Verified Access console to get started.
