Amazon DynamoDB announces support for FIPS 140-3 interface VPC and Streams endpoints

Amazon DynamoDB is a serverless, NoSQL, fully managed database with single-digit millisecond performance at any scale. The Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) Publication 140-3 is a US and Canadian government standard that specifies the security requirements for cryptographic modules that protect sensitive information. Today, we are announcing the general availability of FIPS 140-3 interface endpoint support for DynamoDB and FIPS 140-3 public endpoint support for DynamoDB Streams.

You can use AWS PrivateLink with DynamoDB for regulated workloads that require a secure connection using a FIPS 140-3 validated cryptographic module.

FIPS-compliant endpoints help companies contracting with the federal government meet the FIPS security requirement to encrypt sensitive data in supported Regions. The new capability is available in AWS Regions in the United States and Canada, and the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions. Learn more about AWS FIPS 140-3 at FIPS 140-3 Compliance.
