Amazon Fraud Detector and interface VPC endpoints (AWS PrivateLink)

You can establish a private connection between your VPC and Amazon Fraud Detector by creating an interface VPC endpoint. Interface endpoints are powered by AWS PrivateLink, a technology that enables you to privately access Amazon Fraud Detector APIs without an internet gateway, NAT device, VPN connection, or AWS Direct Connect connection. Instances in your VPC don't need public IP addresses to communicate with Amazon Fraud Detector APIs. Traffic between your VPC and Amazon Fraud Detector does not leave the Amazon network.

Each interface endpoint is represented by one or more Elastic Network Interfaces in your subnets.

For more information, see Interface VPC endpoints (AWS PrivateLink) in the Amazon VPC User Guide.

Creating a VPC endpoint policy for Amazon Fraud Detector

You can create a policy for interface VPC endpoints for Amazon Fraud Detector to specify the following:

• The principal that can perform actions

• The actions that can be performed

• The resources on which actions can be performed

For more information, see Controlling Access to Services with VPC Endpoints in the Amazon VPC User Guide.

The following example VPC endpoint policy specifies that all users who have access to the VPC interface endpoint are allowed to access the Amazon Fraud Detector detector named my_detector.

{
  "Statement": [
      {
          "Action": "frauddetector:*Detector",
          "Effect": "Allow",
          "Resource": "arn:aws:frauddetector:us-east-1:123456789012:detector/my_detector",
          "Principal": "*"
      }
  ]
}

In this example, the following are denied:

• Other Amazon Fraud Detector API actions

• Invoking Amazon Fraud Detector GetEventPrediction API

Note

In this example, users can still take other Amazon Fraud Detector API actions from outside the VPC. For information about how to restrict API calls to those from within the VPC, see Amazon Fraud Detector identity-based policies.
