AWS – WorkSpaces Secure Browser now supports FIPS 140-3 validated cryptography

Today, AWS End User Computing Services announced that customers can use Federal Information Processing Standard 140-3 (FIPS) validated cryptography endpoints with their WorkSpaces Secure Browser portals. FIPS 140-3 is a U.S. and Canadian government standard that specifies the security requirements for cryptographic modules that protect sensitive information.

WorkSpaces Secure Browser FIPS endpoints use FIPS-validated cryptographic standards, which may be required for certain sensitive information or regulated workloads. To use a FIPS-validated connection for your portal, specify a FIPS endpoint when creating a portal using the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI). You can use FIPS endpoints with any new portals at no additional charge.

If you are new to WorkSpaces Secure Browser you can get started by visiting the pricing page and adding the Free Trial offer to your AWS account. Then, go to the Amazon WorkSpaces Secure Browser console and create your portal, today.
