Infrastructure security in Macie - Amazon Macie

As a managed service, Amazon Macie is protected by AWS global network security. For information about AWS security services and how AWS protects infrastructure, see AWS Cloud Security. To design your AWS environment using the best practices for infrastructure security, see Infrastructure Protection in Security Pillar AWS Well‐Architected Framework.

You use AWS published API calls to access Macie through the network. Clients must support the following:

  • Transport Layer Security (TLS). We require TLS 1.2 and recommend TLS 1.3.

  • Cipher suites with perfect forward secrecy (PFS) such as DHE (Ephemeral Diffie-Hellman) or ECDHE (Elliptic Curve Ephemeral Diffie-Hellman). Most modern systems such as Java 7 and later support these modes.

Additionally, requests must be signed by using an access key ID and a secret access key that is associated with an IAM principal. Or you can use the AWS Security Token Service (AWS STS) to generate temporary security credentials to sign requests.

You can call these API operations from any network location. However, if you use Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) to host your AWS resources, you can establish a private connection between your VPC and Macie by creating an interface endpoint. Interface endpoints are powered by AWS PrivateLink, a technology that enables you to privately access Macie without an internet gateway, NAT device, VPN connection, or AWS Direct Connect connection. We create an endpoint network interface in each subnet that you enable for an interface endpoint. These are requester-managed network interfaces that can serve as the entry point for traffic destined for Macie. For more information, see Access AWS services through AWS PrivateLink in the AWS PrivateLink Guide.
