AWS Transfer Family enhances AS2 certificate management capabilities

AWS Transfer Family enhances certificate management capabilities for Applicability Statement 2 (AS2) with more options to import and monitor your AS2 certificates. This update makes it easier to migrate AS2 trading partner relationships to AWS and ensure uninterrupted communications.

AS2 is a widely used business-to-business messaging protocol in industries such as healthcare, retail and supply chain, and uses certificate keys for secure message transmission and signing. You now have an option to import complete certificate information, including the full certificate chain, as a single PEM file. To ensure timely rotation of your certificates, you can check the certificate expiration status using the Transfer Family console or the DescribeCertificate API command. These enhancements make it easier to manage your AS2 certificates within AWS Transfer Family and ensure seamless communications with your trading partners.

The new AS2 certificate management capabilities are available in all AWS Regions where the Transfer Family service is available. To learn more, visit the documentation and take the self-paced AS2 workshop.
