# Infrastructure Security in Amazon Snowball Edge
<a name="infrastructure-security"></a>

As a managed service, Amazon Snow Family is protected by Amazon global network security. For information about Amazon security services and how Amazon protects infrastructure, see [Amazon Cloud Security](https://www.amazonaws.cn/security/). To design your Amazon environment using the best practices for infrastructure security, see [Infrastructure Protection](https://docs.amazonaws.cn/wellarchitected/latest/security-pillar/infrastructure-protection.html) in *Security Pillar Amazon Well‐Architected Framework*.

You use Amazon published API calls to access Amazon Snow Family through the network. Clients must support the following:
+ Transport Layer Security (TLS). We require TLS 1.2 and recommend TLS 1.3.
+ Cipher suites with perfect forward secrecy (PFS) such as DHE (Ephemeral Diffie-Hellman) or ECDHE (Elliptic Curve Ephemeral Diffie-Hellman). Most modern systems such as Java 7 and later support these modes.
