Security for the AWS Cloud Development Kit (AWS CDK)
Cloud security at Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the highest priority. As an AWS customer,
you benefit from a data center and network architecture that is built to meet the requirements
of the most security-sensitive organizations. Security is a shared responsibility between AWS
and you. The Shared
Responsibility Model
Security of the Cloud – AWS is responsible for
protecting the infrastructure that runs all of the services offered in the AWS Cloud and
providing you with services that you can use securely. Our security responsibility is the
highest priority at AWS, and the effectiveness of our security is regularly tested and
verified by third-party auditors as part of the AWS Compliance Programs
Security in the Cloud – Your responsibility is determined by the AWS service you are using, and other factors including the sensitivity of your data, your organization's requirements, and applicable laws and regulations.
The AWS CDK follows the shared responsibility model
