In this post, we will explore AWS IoT services in the context of NIST Special Publication 800-183: Networks of ‘Things’. NIST 800-183 presents a model for expressing IoT deployments and establishes concerns about the trustworthiness of the Internet of Things, which AWS IoT services can help public sector organizations address. We will delve into key areas such as authentication, monitoring, and secure communication.

In this post, we explore an innovative solution—developed by Booz Allen, an HAQM Web Services (AWS) Premier Services Partner—that uses HAQM Bedrock-powered generative artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance the decision-making process for system changes.

U.S. State and Local Government (SLG) organizations often have requirements to host regulated workloads with distinct compliance requirements. HAQM Web Services (AWS) provides U.S. SLG customers with an approach to meet compliance needs by using AWS GovCloud (US) regions or AWS U.S. commercial regions. In this post, we will explain how some U.S. SLG regulated workloads can be hosted in the AWS U.S. commercial regions.

At AWS re:Invent 2024, which took place last December in Las Vegas, HAQM Web Services (AWS) unveiled an array of cutting-edge innovations during a week of keynotes, innovation talks, breakout sessions, product launches, interactive demos, and networking opportunities. In this post, we highlight the key takeaways from AWS re:Invent 2024 for government agencies.

HAQM Web Services (AWS) is pleased to announce that AWS Marketplace has received “Awardable” status in the Department of Defense (DoD) Platform One (P1) Solutions Marketplace. This designation enables DoD organizations to readily access and procure solutions through AWS Marketplace using established acquisition pathways.

Some customers using HAQM Web Services (AWS) prohibit users from installing software from public sources. Recently, the Landing Zone Accelerator on AWS (LZA) solution added optional capabilities to support this use case. Instead of installing directly from the public LZA GitHub repository, which is the default installation path for most customers, LZA can be self-hosted from your own HAQM Simple Storage Service (HAQM S3) bucket. This post shows the technical steps necessary to install LZA using HAQM S3.

In an increasingly digital world, governments and public sector entities are seeking secure and efficient ways to use cloud technologies. As we’ve innovated and expanded the HAQM Web Services (AWS) Cloud, we continue to prioritize making sure customers are in control and able to meet their national regulatory requirements. In this post, we share how AWS is collaborating with national cyber regulators and other public sector entities to enable secure adoption of the AWS Cloud across countries’ public sectors.

This post explores the architectural design and security concepts employed by Radboud University Medical Center Nijmegen (Radboudumc) to build a secure artificial intelligence (AI) runtime environment on HAQM Web Services (AWS). Business leaders dealing with sensitive or regulated data will find this post invaluable because it demonstrates a proven approach to using the power of AI while maintaining strict data privacy and security standards.

Across NATO’s 32 member states, today’s rapidly evolving threat landscape requires continuous modernization of advanced technology solutions, underscoring the strategic importance of the alliance’s digital transformation. This modernization effort demands speed, scale, security, and global innovation capabilities to stay ahead. Collaborating with technology leaders like HAQM Web Services (AWS) can accelerate innovation and NATO’s ability to deliver mission-ready solutions to counter known and emerging threats.

Global leaders are convening in Germany this week at the annual Munich Security Conference (MSC) to discuss key foreign policy and security challenges. Amid these discussions, one thing is clear: global leadership increasingly hinges on technological progress. In particular, the rapid progress of artificial intelligence (AI) presents an extraordinary opportunity for transformative innovation. For the U.S. government, this moment marks a crucial inflection point: embrace bold modernization of digital infrastructure and AI investment or risk being outpaced by global competitors.
