AWS – Amazon SNS expands support for FIPS 140-3 endpoints

Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) now supports additional endpoints that have been validated under the Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 140-3 program in AWS Regions in the United States and Canada.

FIPS compliant endpoints help companies contracting with the US federal government meet the FIPS security requirement to encrypt sensitive data in supported regions. With this expansion, you can use Amazon SNS for workloads that require a FIPS 140-3 validated cryptographic module when sending requests over dual-stack public or VPC endpoints.

Amazon SNS FIPS compliant endpoints are now available in the following regions: US East (N. Virginia), US East (Ohio), US West (N. California), US West (Oregon), Canada (Central), Canada West (Calgary) and AWS GovCloud (US). To learn more about FIPS 140-3 at AWS, visit FIPS 140-3 Compliance.
