Amazon S3

Read and write objects in S3 buckets from your workflows

Amazon S3 is AWS's object storage service, used for documents, images, data exports, and backups. CipherSense Agents connects via an IAM access key and secret to list and retrieve objects from your buckets, making files available as context for Agent nodes.
