Cloud security at AWS is the highest priority. As an AWS customer, you will benefit from a data center and network architecture built to meet the requirements of the most security-sensitive organizations.
An advantage of the AWS cloud is that it allows customers to scale and innovate, while maintaining a secure environment. Customers pay only for the services they use, meaning that you can have the security you need, but without the upfront expenses, and at a lower cost than in an on-premises environment.
More controls and increased privacy - all at a lower cost

Keep Your Data Safe
The AWS infrastructure puts strong safeguards in place to help protect customer privacy. All data is stored in highly secure AWS data centers.

Meet Compliance Requirements
AWS manages dozens of compliance programs in its infrastructure. This means that segments of your compliance have already been completed.

Save Money
Cut costs by using AWS data centers. Maintain the highest standard of security without having to manage your own facility.

Scale Quickly
Security scales with your AWS cloud usage. No matter the size of your business the AWS infrastructure is designed to keep data safe.

Improving Continuity With Replication Between Regions
In addition to replicating applications and data across multiple data centers in the same region using Availability Zones, you can also choose to increase redundancy and fault tolerance further by replicating data between geographic regions.
Meeting Compliance and Data Residency Requirements
You retain complete control and ownership over the region in which your data is physically located, making it easy to meet regional compliance and data residency requirements.
Geographic Expansion
The AWS Cloud has announced plans for 12 more Availability Zones and four more Regions in Bahrain, Hong Kong SAR, Sweden, and a second AWS GovCloud Region in the US.
