Overview

Amazon DynamoDB is AWS's fully managed, serverless NoSQL database service designed for scalable applications. It supports key-value and document data models with built-in security features (encryption at rest and in transit, IAM-based access control, VPC endpoints) and automatic scaling, making it a common backend for cloud-native apps. In cybersecurity terms, DynamoDB expands the cloud attack surface through potential misconfigurations, overly permissive access, and data exposure or tampering risks if stored data is compromised.
