Cloud data security solutions for small and medium businesses

Cloud security helps small and medium businesses (SMBs) protect business operations, customer information, and company data without slowing down performance, increasing operational costs, or changing the setup.

Moving to the cloud provides access to strong built-in security measures and compliance features. It also allows you to easily scale up or down and provides better visibility and control over your security posture.

With automation, you can also streamline routine tasks to focus more on growing your business. Additionally, AWS Partner Network consultants can help you access new and innovative security features as they become available.

Managing your own data center means you are responsible for all of its back-end operations, including security patches, performance monitoring, and other time-consuming IT management tasks.

AWS security infrastructure is built to satisfy the needs of world-leading companies that rely on it. Our customers report 43.4 percent fewer monthly security incidents and a 69 percent reduction in unplanned downtime, on average.

The Shared Responsibility Model means AWS manages security for its infrastructure and services, while you retain control over what you upload to or run in your account.

We invest heavily in our network, storage, and compute to ensure you have near-constant access to your critical data and applications.

The list is growing, but most SMBs rely on:

• Managing employee access and authentication
• Automatically monitoring cloud account(s) for malware, viruses, or other issues
• Enforcing network and application security policies across devices
• Encrypting confidential data to help protect sensitive information
• Automatically generating compliance reports
  

Security is a full-time job and your SMB may not have a dedicated IT staff member to manage it. AWS relieves this operational burden, letting you focus on business-critical work.

At AWS, security is our top priotity. With the Shared Responsibility Model, AWS manages the security of its software and hardware, while you control what you upload or run in your account.

In other words, we focus on behind-the-scenes management while you maintain full control over securing your work.

Compliance can be a challenge for SMBs, but many benefit from two main AWS features:

• Our ability to automate cloud account monitoring, allowing you to focus on high-value tasks
• We regularly achieve third-party validation for thousands of global compliance requirements as they change, meaning there’s no need to manually track shifting industry standards
