AWS Verified Access supports FIPS 140-2 compliant endpoints in US and Canada Regions
AWS Verified Access, a service that helps you provide secure VPN-less access to your corporate applications, now offers Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 140-2 validated endpoints to help you protect sensitive information. These endpoints terminate Transport Layer Security (TLS) sessions using a FIPS 140-2 validated cryptographic software module, making it easier for you to use Verified Access for regulated workloads. Companies contracting with the US and Canadian federal governments can now meet the FIPS security requirement to encrypt sensitive data in these Regions.
