Infrastructure security in Amazon WorkDocs

As a managed service, Amazon WorkDocs is protected by the AWS global network security procedures. For more information, see Infrastructure security in AWS Identity and Access Management in the IAM User Guide and Best Practices for Security, Identity, & Compliance in the AWS Architecture Center.

You use AWS published API calls to access Amazon WorkDocs through the network. Clients must support Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.2, and we recommend using TLS 1.3. Clients must also support cipher suites with perfect forward secrecy such as Ephemeral Diffie-Hellman or Elliptic Curve Ephemeral Diffie-Hellman. Most modern systems such as Java 7 and later support these modes.

Additionally, requests must be signed by using an access key ID and a secret access key that is associated with an IAM principal. Or you can use the AWS Security Token Service (AWS STS) to generate temporary security credentials to sign requests.
