How secure is the AWS Cloud? Our core infrastructure is built to satisfy industry-specific security requirements, including those for the military, global banks, and other high-sensitivity organizations. We use the same secure hardware and software to build and operate each of our AWS Regions, which are backed by deeply integrated cloud security tools. This is achieved with more than 200 security and compliance services and key features. We also offer tools and guidance to protect your game from DDoS attacks. What about the environment? Running on the cloud is more environmentally friendly than using your own data center. A 2019 study run by 451 Research found that AWS infrastructure is 3.6 times more energy-efficient than the median US enterprise data center surveyed. The study found that the average server usage rate was only about 18 percent, leaving a significant amount of capacity unused. AWS helps reduce your energy usage by removing wasted idling hardware.
