AWS Enhances Data Protection Services, Enabling Flexibility and Delegated Security for SaaS Providers and Cloud Builders.
Recent enhancements to the AWS data protection services portfolio are designed to enable greater flexibility for SaaS providers and cloud builders to offer and delegate security to their downstream customers.
The company recognizes the governance and compliance responsibilities AWS customers have, and these enhancements highlight the distinctive role that cloud providers play in enabling security at every point in the value chain.
SaaS builders have long leveraged AWS capabilities in data protection to better secure their clients' digital assets and refine distinctions of responsibilities for handling sensitive data.
AWS' customers are increasingly SaaS-based enterprises that need to convey and demonstrate security and trustworthiness to their own downstream customers. By enabling these customers to build necessary attestations and controls sooner, AWS can continue to seize new opportunities in analytics and GenAI by maintaining its focus on security.
