How AWS Provides Security of the Cloud for Amazon CloudFront

AWS security processes

AWS operates the global cloud infrastructure that you use to provision a variety of basic computing resources and services such as compute and storage. The AWS global infrastructure is designed and managed according to security best practices, as well as a variety of security compliance standards. As an AWS customer, be assured that you’re building web architectures on some of the most secure computing infrastructure in the world.

As a managed service, CloudFront is protected by these AWS global infrastructure security processes. The implemented controls include physical and environmental security such as fire detection and suppression, logical AWS access controls such as account review and audit, network security (fault-tolerant design), and other important secure design principles and practices.

Security is built into every layer of the AWS infrastructure, and carries into each of the services that run in it. AWS services, including CloudFront, are architected to work efficiently and securely with all AWS networks and platforms. Each service provides extensive security features designed to help you protect sensitive data and applications. For more information, see the Best Practices for Security, Identity, and Compliance.
