How secure is Amazon S3?

Amazon S3 is secure by default. Upon creation, only the resource owners have access to Amazon S3 resources they create. Amazon S3 supports user authentication to control access to data. If you need extra security you can use the Server-Side Encryption (SSE) option to encrypt data stored at rest.
