Digital transformation helps public sector organizations around
the world meet the many complex needs of today's citizens. That
includes keeping public sector systems—and citizen data—safe,
private, and secure.
Amazon Web Services (AWS) supports those needs in the cloud
with a wide range of security and compliance tools, resources,
and capabilities. Under its shared responsibility model, AWS
takes responsibility for security of the cloud, which means that
it protects the hardware, software, networking, and facilities
that run AWS Cloud services. Meanwhile, customers assume
responsibility for security in the cloud. This means they are
responsible for configuring and managing the services they use to
ensure these remain secure and compliant. Customer responsibility
is determined by the AWS Cloud services that a customer selects.
AWS can help public sector organizations in many ways, from
providing guidance for you to build high-performing and relisiant
architectures in the cloud, to supporting security best practices
and providing online training for everyone from new users to
experts. We also offer many services to help your security teams
solve problems, work effectively, and raise your organization's
security posture. This provides benefits such as the ability to scale
securely with visibility and control, automate and reduce risk,
build for privacy and data security, and implement comprehensive
security and compliance controls. This assures citizens that their
public services and private data have the highest-possible levels of
protection from security threats.
