Data Protection in the Amazon Serverless Application Repository
The Amazon shared
responsibility model
For data protection purposes, we recommend that you protect Amazon Web Services account credentials and set up individual users with Amazon IAM Identity Center or Amazon Identity and Access Management (IAM). That way, each user is given only the permissions necessary to fulfill their job duties. We also recommend that you secure your data in the following ways:
-
Use multi-factor authentication (MFA) with each account.
-
Use SSL/TLS to communicate with Amazon resources. We require TLS 1.2 and recommend TLS 1.3.
-
Set up API and user activity logging with Amazon CloudTrail.
-
Use Amazon encryption solutions, along with all default security controls within Amazon Web Services.
-
Use advanced managed security services such as Amazon Macie, which assists in discovering and securing sensitive data that is stored in Amazon S3.
-
If you require FIPS 140-2 validated cryptographic modules when accessing Amazon through a command line interface or an API, use a FIPS endpoint. For more information about the available FIPS endpoints, see Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 140-2
.
We strongly recommend that you never put confidential or sensitive information, such as your customers' email addresses, into tags or free-form text fields such as a Name field. This includes when you work with Amazon Serverless Application Repository or other Amazon Web Services using the console, API, Amazon CLI, or Amazon SDKs. Any data that you enter into tags or free-form text fields used for names may be used for billing or diagnostic logs. If you provide a URL to an external server, we strongly recommend that you do not include credentials information in the URL to validate your request to that server.
Encryption in Transit
Amazon Serverless Application Repository API endpoints only support secure connections over HTTPS. When you manage Amazon Serverless Application Repository resources with the Amazon Web Services Management Console, Amazon SDK, or the Amazon Serverless Application Repository API, all communication is encrypted with Transport Layer Security (TLS).
For a full list of API endpoints, see Amazon Regions and Endpoints in the Amazon Web Services General Reference.
Encryption at Rest
The Amazon Serverless Application Repository encrypts files that you upload to the Amazon Serverless Application Repository, including deployment packages and layer archives.
